Real estate in {acf_entite_nom}

Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is one of the first areas where I invested in real estate. I bought a beautiful greystone triplex there on Pie-IX Boulevard, a building that sums up what I love about the area: unique architecture, and those stately period homes on Adam Street. It’s an area that has kept a very real social mix, but where several pockets now draw families: central, affordable and full of character that time only enhances.

Market-wise, it’s the east that’s coming into its own. Hochelaga, around the Promenade Ontario and Maisonneuve Market, has gone in a few years from a working-class neighbourhood to an area young families want, without turning its back on its roots: century-old plexes, cafés, microbreweries and real neighbourhood pride. Farther east, Maisonneuve has its Beaux-Arts landmarks and the Olympic Park, then Mercier shifts to residential: post-war bungalows, quiet streets and the riverbanks in Tétreaultville. It’s a multi-speed market, where a strong Hochelaga plex isn’t read the same way as an affordable Mercier-Est bungalow. Here, prices are still within reach and first-time buyer demand is strong, which is why a valuation has to go area by area.
