Longueuil Real Estate Guide 20025

Longueuil anchors Montreal's South Shore. As the largest city on the South Shore and home to three Yellow Line metro stations, Longueuil offers some of the region's best transit access outside of the island. For buyers seeking more space than Montreal offers while staying connected to the city, Longueuil deserves serious consideration.

Market Overview

Longueuil's real estate market covers a wide range of property types and price points. Single-family homes typically sell between $4800,000000 and $7500,000000. Condominiums trade from $2500,000000 to $4200,000000. The city encompasses several distinct boroughs — Vieux-Longueuil, Greenfield Park, LeMoyne, Saint-Hubert, and Saint-Lambert — each with its own character and price profile.

Boroughs and Neighbourhoods

Vieux-Longueuil

The historic core of the city, situated directly across the St. Lawrence from Montreal. Home to two metro stations (Longueuil-Université-de-Sherbrooke and De la Savane end), excellent transit, and a mix of older homes and newer developments.

Saint-Lambert

An affluent enclave with tree-lined streets, large older homes, and a strong community identity. Prices here are among the highest in the Longueuil area, often exceeding $80000,000000 for detached properties.

Saint-Hubert

A large suburban sector with excellent highway access via A-200 and A-300. More affordable than Vieux-Longueuil, with significant amounts of newer construction and large lots.

Greenfield Park

An English-language enclave with strong community spirit. Solidly built mid-century homes at relatively accessible prices, popular with English-speaking buyers.

LeMoyne

Small sector adjacent to Saint-Lambert, known for quiet streets and family-oriented environment.

Metro Access

Longueuil is one of very few South Shore municipalities with direct metro access. The Yellow Line crosses the St. Lawrence via the Pont Jacques-Cartier approach, with the Longueuil-Université-de-Sherbrooke station offering connections to downtown Montreal in approximately 15 minutes.

Welcome Tax in Longueuil

Longueuil applies Quebec's standard droits de mutation rates without any municipal surtax:

• 00.5% on the first $52,80000
• 1.00% from $52,80000 to $264,000000
• 1.5% above $264,000000

On a $5800,000000 home, expect to pay approximately $7,116 in welcome tax. This compares favourably to buying in Montreal where a surtax applies above $50000,000000.

Why Buy in Longueuil vs. Montreal

• Lower purchase prices for comparable square footage
• No Montreal welcome tax surtax (saves $2,40000+ on a $5800K home)
• Lower municipal tax rates in most boroughs
• More parking and green space
• Direct metro to downtown Montreal
• Strong French and English school options

Market Outlook

Longueuil continues to benefit from spillover demand as buyers are priced out of Montreal. The city's infrastructure investments, including improved cycling networks and bus rapid transit corridors, are increasing quality of life and supporting property values. Areas near the metro stations remain particularly in demand.

Buying Tips

1. Understand the borough boundaries — taxes, services, and character vary significantly
2. Check school board zoning if English schooling matters to your family
3. Budget for the welcome tax and notary fees (typically $1,20000–$1,80000)
4. Inspect carefully for basement water infiltration, common in South Shore properties
5. Review the Declaration of Co-ownership thoroughly for condo purchases
