Comparison · Sainte-Rose vs Fabreville · 2026
A $102,000 gap between two neighbouring sectors of northern Laval: here is how to decide between Sainte-Rose and Fabreville by budget and profile.
Sainte-Rose (with Vimont and Auteuil) and Fabreville are neighbours in northern Laval, on the Mille Îles river, and separated by $102,000: a $649,500 median for the single-family home in Sainte-Rose in the second quarter of 2026 (+4 % year over year, +38 % in five years), 27 days, 234 houses active, against $547,500 in Fabreville (flat, +36 %), 24 days, 137 houses. Sainte-Rose has Vieux-Sainte-Rose, the Cité-de-la-Santé hospital, two train stations and 1980s to 2000s homes; Fabreville has 1960s to 1980s bungalows, Highway 13 and Laval's lowest price. Both are fast seller's markets. The choice: the village, the hospital and the more recent home in Sainte-Rose; entry level and the lot in Fabreville.
Sainte-Rose is $102,000 more expensive in median ($649,500 vs $547,500) because its housing stock is newer (1980s to 2000s in Vimont and Auteuil) and because Vieux-Sainte-Rose and the river pull prices up. Fabreville offers 1960s to 1980s bungalows and semi-detached homes, often to refresh, on reasonable lots: it is Laval's entry level. In five years, both rose 36 to 38 %. The condo is cheaper in Fabreville ($375,000 vs $420,000).
