Median home price: ~$420,000 | South Shore (Rive-Sud), commuter city opposite Montreal
Longueuil sits directly across the St. Lawrence River from Montreal, connected by the Pont Jacques-Cartier and the Yellow Métro line (stations Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke). It is the largest city on the South Shore and serves as a regional hub for the Montérégie. With a median home price around $420,000, Longueuil offers more space per dollar than Montreal proper, making it a popular choice for families, first-time buyers, and commuters who work downtown Montreal.
The city comprises several boroughs: Le Vieux-Longueuil (the historic core), Saint-Hubert (home to the Longueuil airport and aerospace industry), Greenfield Park (strongly English-speaking), LeMoyne, and Saint-Lambert. Each has its own character and price range.
Vieux-Longueuil: The oldest sector, with streets lined with mature trees and heritage homes. Close to the Métro and the St. Lawrence riverfront. Plexes and renovated single-family homes run $420,000–$700,000.
Saint-Hubert: Largest borough by area, known for the aerospace cluster (Pratt & Whitney Canada) and CFB Saint-Hubert. More affordable and suburban; detached homes from $380,000–$600,000.
Greenfield Park: Anglophone enclave with English schools and a close-knit community. Bungalows from the 1960s–1980s typically sell $390,000–$580,000.
Saint-Lambert: Upscale South Shore village with waterfront access. Prices reflect the premium: $600,000–$1,000,000+ for desirable properties near the river.
Longueuil applies standard provincial droits de mutation with no additional municipal surtax. Use the calculator to estimate your closing cost obligation.
The Yellow Métro line connects Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke station to Berri-UQAM in about 5 minutes. From there, downtown Montreal is accessible in minutes. The RTCS (Réseau de transport de la Couronne Sud) bus rapid transit network supplements the Métro with connections to Brossard, Saint-Bruno, and further afield on the South Shore.
Driving via the Pont Jacques-Cartier or Pont Champlain can be slow during rush hour. Many Longueuil residents time their commute carefully or use the REM (Réseau express métropolitain) at the Brossard terminus for the A15 corridor.
Saint-Hubert is home to one of Canada's most important aerospace clusters. Pratt & Whitney Canada, Bell Helicopter Textron Canada, and numerous subcontractors employ thousands. This stable, well-paying employment base supports housing demand in the $400,000–$650,000 range and creates strong long-term fundamentals for South Shore real estate.
