Estimate my property →Montreal’s South Shore (Rive-Sud) has become one of the most dynamic regions in Quebec’s real estate market. From Longueuil to Beloeil, through Brossard, Saint-Bruno and Chambly, this vast area offers a diversity of neighbourhoods for every budget and lifestyle.
In 2026, the Quebec residential market shows median prices of $615,000 for single-family homes and $428,000 for condos in the Greater Montreal Area. The South Shore sits 15 to 25% below these thresholds, offering unbeatable value for families and investors alike.
The arrival of the REM (Réseau express métropolitain) has been a game-changer: Brossard is now just 15 minutes from downtown Montreal, and prices have reacted accordingly. But other sectors like Chambly and Beloeil remain remarkably affordable.

🏙️ Longueuil: The Heart of the South Shore
Longueuil is the largest city on the South Shore with over 260,000 residents in the agglomeration. Its direct metro access (Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke station) and proximity to highways 20 and 132 make it a strategic choice for commuters.
✅ Metro — Longueuil station with direct downtown access in 15 min
✅ Diversity — From historic Vieux-Longueuil to new developments
✅ Services — Hospitals, universities, shopping centres
✅ Prices — Single-family ~$480,000, condos ~$310,000
Vieux-Longueuil is experiencing a revival with the revitalization of rue Saint-Charles and the arrival of new shops. Residential areas like Saint-Hubert offer single-family homes at still-reasonable prices, while Greenfield Park attracts anglophone and bilingual families.
🚉 Brossard: The REM Effect
Brossard is the big winner of the REM on the South Shore. Since the opening of the Du Quartier station, the city is connected to downtown Montreal in just 15 minutes. The impact on prices has been immediate.

The area around Quartier DIX30 is seeing accelerated densification with new condo projects and residential towers. New condos are selling around $380,000, while more established areas like West Brossard offer single-family homes on large lots.
⚠️ Note: prices near REM stations have already priced in part of the premium. The best opportunities are now found 2-3 km from stations, where the spillover effect is not yet complete.
🌳 Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville: Nature and Prestige
Saint-Bruno is the South Shore’s jewel for families. Nestled at the foot of Mont Saint-Bruno and its national park, this town offers an exceptional living environment with schools ranked among the best in Quebec.
✅ Median price — Approximately $550,000 for a single-family home
✅ National park — Mont Saint-Bruno, skiing, hiking, lake
✅ Schools — Among the best in the Fraser Institute rankings
✅ Appreciation — +6% per year, stable and growing values
Saint-Bruno is the most expensive sector in our analysis, but also the one offering the best value retention. Families who settle here tend to stay long-term, which limits inventory and keeps prices on an upward trend. Access to Highway 30 and proximity to Brossard/REM complete the appeal.
🏘️ Chambly and Beloeil: Charm and Affordability
Further from Montreal, Chambly and Beloeiloffer the most affordable prices on the South Shore. These historic towns charm buyers with their heritage character, rivers and quality of life.
Chambly
✅ Single-family: ~$460,000

✅ Access to A-10 and A-35
✅ Rapid growth (+7%/yr)
Beloeil
✅ Single-family: ~$450,000
✅ Views of Mont Saint-Hilaire
✅ Vieux-Beloeil and Richelieu River
✅ Ideal for first-time buyers
Both towns are particularly popular with first-time buyersand families willing to accept a slightly longer commute in exchange for significantly lower prices. The market is growing strongly, with increases of 5 to 7% per year.

The REM has revolutionized transit on the South Shore. The Du Quartier station in Brossard now connects the South Shore to downtown Montreal in 15 minutes, transforming the real estate market across the entire region.

⚠️ Opportunity: the South Shore highway network (A-10, A-20, A-30, A-35) offers exceptional connectivity. Combined with the REM and the Longueuil metro, the South Shore is the best-served region for transit in the entire Montreal suburban ring.
Future projects include improved express bus service to Chambly and Beloeil, as well as reserved lanes on the A-10. These improvements could further stimulate demand in more distant sectors.
