Brossard (about 97,600 people), Longueuil (about 268,500) and Saint-Lambert (about 23,400) sit side by side on Montréal’s South Shore, across the St. Lawrence from downtown, and Landian works across all three with licensed local agents. Sellers list on the Centris/MLS with a licensed local agent for one flat fee set by the home's price, not a commission: $5,999 flat for a home around $650,000. $7,999 flat for a home around $850,000. $11,999 flat for a home around $1,250,000. The fee is shown before you meet the agent, written into your agreement, and paid only at closing. Buyers get a buyer's agent on the same schedule, based on the price of the home they buy, usually covered by the seller's contribution; anything the seller contributes above it comes back as a rebate or closing credit where allowed. Fees are in Canadian dollars.⁶

Statistics Canada. Residents are the July 1, 2025 population estimate (table 17-10-0155-01). Everything else is from the 2021 Census Profile: growth is the population change from 2016 to 2021; homeowners are owner households as a share of all households; *median value of owner-occupied dwellings as estimated by their owners in May 2021, so recent sale prices run higher; single-detached houses as a share of occupied homes; English and French is the share of residents who can hold a conversation in both. Shares are our calculation from the profile counts.
Living in Brossard, Longueuil and Saint-Lambert
Three cities that face Montréal across the St. Lawrence and share one agglomeration, but feel very different: a planned suburb built around highways and now the REM, a big city with a heritage core and the metro, and a railway village under old trees.
Du Quartier REM station and Solar Uniquartier, Brossard
Brossard
Quartier DIX30, the REM and lettered streets
Brossard was incorporated on February 14, 1958, and still follows a 1960s plan: the city is divided into lettered sectors, and the streets in each one start with the same letter. Merged into Longueuil in 2002, it became its own city again on January 1, 2006, inside the Longueuil agglomeration. It is the most international of the three: 40.8% of residents were immigrants in 2021, and 16.2% were Chinese, the largest visible minority group (Census).
Quartier DIX30 opened its first phase on September 14, 2006, in sector L at the corner of Autoroutes 10 and 30, and grew into a district of shops and restaurants with the ALT Hotel, a 900-seat theatre and concert hall, and the CN Sports Complex next door. At the same interchange, Solar Uniquartier added 2,600 homes in buildings of 2 to 30 storeys, with direct access to the REM’s Du Quartier station. The line starts at Brossard station on boulevard De Rome and stops at Du Quartier and Panama before crossing the river. The city counts more than 350 parks and green spaces.
Vieux-Longueuil and the Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue co-cathedral
Longueuil
Vieux-Longueuil, the metro and two big parks
Old Longueuil is essentially the city as it was before 1961, and Longueuil named it a heritage district in 1993; about 450 of its buildings date from before 1945. Rue Saint-Charles, a block up from the river, is its main street of restaurants, bars and shops. At chemin de Chambly stands the Co-Cathedral of Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue, largely built from 1884 to 1887 and classified a historic monument by Quebec in 1984, on the site of Fort Longueuil, built between 1685 and 1690 as the fortified home of Charles Le Moyne.
With 268,530 people in 2025, Longueuil is the largest of the three, in three boroughs: Le Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park. Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke, the Yellow Line’s only South Shore station since 1967, connects to the 42-platform Terminus Longueuil and the Université de Sherbrooke’s Longueuil campus. Saint-Hubert has city hall, Parc de la Cité and the Canadian Space Agency’s headquarters beside the airport, and Parc Michel-Chartrand covers 185 hectares.
Avenue Victoria and the village in the fall, Saint-Lambert
Saint-Lambert
The village, Victoria Bridge and the Seaway
Saint-Lambert became a municipality in 1857 and grew with the railway: it was linked to the Champlain & St. Lawrence Railroad in 1852, and Victoria Bridge, the first bridge across the St. Lawrence, tied it to Montréal in 1859. Commuter trains followed in 1879. Between 1890 and 1913, developers laid out new streets around the old village, among them Victoria Park, near the bridge, with well-built houses on large lots. Anglophones were the majority from 1881 through most of the 20th century; today 74.4% of residents speak both English and French.
Avenue Victoria is the commercial heart, and its stretch between Riverside Drive and the CN tracks is known as the Village. At the southern end of Victoria Bridge, the St. Lambert Lock, the first of the Seaway’s seven locks between Montréal and Lake Ontario, lifts ships about 4.5 m (15 feet), with a lift span at each end so road and rail traffic keep moving. Saint-Lambert voted in 2004 to leave Longueuil and became its own city again on January 1, 2006.
What the numbers say about the South Shore right now.
Island prices, South Shore room
The median single-family price was $645,000 on the South Shore in the third quarter of 2026, against $811,000 on the Island of Montréal (QPAREB, Centris data). Single-detached houses are 38.8% of Brossard’s homes and 7.1% of the city of Montréal’s (2021 Census).
The REM
The South Shore branch opened on July 31, 2023: five stations from Brossard to Gare Centrale, under 18 minutes from Brossard to downtown, with a train every 3 minutes 30 seconds at peak. Trains now continue past downtown to Deux-Montagnes and Anse-à-l’Orme.
A growing city
Brossard grew from 66,441 people in 2001 to 97,597 in 2025, up about 47% (Institut de la statistique du Québec and Statistics Canada estimates). Beside Du Quartier station, Solar Uniquartier added 2,600 homes.
Prices that held
Over five years, the median single-family price rose 22% in Brossard and Saint-Lambert and 30% in Vieux-Longueuil and Greenfield Park, and both areas were still seller’s markets for houses under $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 (QPAREB).
What homes here look like
Three housing stocks. Brossard is the most suburban: 38.8% of its homes are single-detached houses and 69.6% of households own, with condos clustered around Quartier DIX30 and the REM. Longueuil is the most urban: 49.1% of its homes are apartments in buildings under five storeys, and 52.3% of households own. Saint-Lambert mixes century-old houses in Victoria Park with towers by the river: 23.2% of its homes are in buildings of five storeys or more (2021 Census).
The Census medians ($448,000 in Brossard, $376,000 in Longueuil and $650,000 in Saint-Lambert) are owners’ own estimates from May 2021. Recent sales on Centris, by QPAREB’s areas:
Brossard and Saint-Lambert
Single-family median $789,000 in the third quarter of 2026 and $800,500 over 12 months, up 7%; condos $420,000. Houses sold in 47 days on average. A seller’s market under $1.2 million, balanced above.
Vieux-Longueuil and Greenfield Park
Single-family median $605,000 in the third quarter of 2026 and $610,000 over 12 months, up 4%; condos $391,000; plexes $840,000. A seller’s market at every price range, though active listings were up 28% on a year earlier.
Condos
Condominiums are 31.0% of homes in Brossard, 30.4% in Saint-Lambert and 19.0% in Longueuil (2021 Census). Before you make an offer, ask the syndicate for the declaration of co-ownership, the budget, the contingency fund study and the latest minutes.
Schools
French-language public schools in all three cities belong to the Centre de services scolaire Marie-Victorin, which serves Brossard, Saint-Lambert and Longueuil with 78 schools and centres and about 48,240 students; 40% of its youth-sector students do not have French as their mother tongue. Schools are assigned by address, so check a specific home with its school finder.
English-language public schools are run by the Riverside School Board, whose elementary and high schools have 9,421 students. Its high schools here include Saint-Lambert International High School, Centennial Regional High School in Greenfield Park and Heritage Regional High School in Saint-Hubert. Riverside checks each child’s eligibility for instruction in English when you register.
The REM is the new spine. Trains leave Brossard from about 5:30 a.m. until after midnight, every 3 minutes 30 seconds at peak and every 7 minutes off-peak, stop at Du Quartier and Panama, and cross the river down the middle of the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge, a 3,480 m crossing opened in 2019 with a bus lane each way and a multi-use path for walking and cycling. Brossard and Panama stations have bus terminals and park-and-ride lots.
From Longueuil, the Yellow Line runs from Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke through Jean-Drapeau to Berri-UQAM. Saint-Lambert has its own exo station on train line 13 Mont-Saint-Hilaire, about 16 minutes to Gare Centrale in the timetable, with 354 parking spaces. In summer the N4 river shuttle links Longueuil, Île Sainte-Hélène and the Old Port, with evening service until 11 p.m. from Thursday to Sunday in 2026.

Longueuil’s two big nature parks are open 365 days a year. Parc Michel-Chartrand covers 185 hectares, with nearly 20 km of bike paths, hiking and cross-country ski trails, a marsh and three artificial lakes. Parc de la Cité in Saint-Hubert covers 96 hectares, with 8 km of trails, a 1 km basin circled by a paved path and a hill that looks out to Montréal and the Montérégie hills. Brossard’s Grand parc urbain, more than 4 million square feet, keeps adding lit paths, micro-forests and a disc golf course.
Along the river, La Riveraine is a paved 51.4 km bike route through Longueuil, Saint-Lambert, Brossard and five other towns. Its 13.4 km Voie Maritime section follows the Seaway, and the 2.1 km Estacade links it to Nuns’ Island. The multi-use path on the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge takes walkers and cyclists straight into Montréal.

The welcome tax
In Quebec the buyer pays transfer duties, the welcome tax, to the city. The base is the highest of the price, the amount in the deed and the assessed value times the city’s comparative factor (1.04 in Brossard and 1.06 in Longueuil for 2026). Both cities charge 0.5% on the first $62,900, 1% up to $315,000 and 1.5% above that, then 3% on the part above $500,000 in Brossard and above $630,100 in Longueuil.
On an $850,000 purchase, that comes to about $16,110 in Brossard and $14,159 in Longueuil (our calculation from the cities’ 2026 tables). In Saint-Lambert, ask the city for its 2026 table before you make an offer. For 2027, Quebec raises the first two thresholds to $64,400 and $322,600.

Questions about Brossard, Longueuil and Saint-Lambert
How much does it cost to sell a house in Brossard, Longueuil or Saint-Lambert with Landian?

It is shown before you meet your agent, written into your agreement, and paid from your proceeds at closing. Nothing upfront.
