Which way is the market leaning in {acf_entite_nom}?
I discovered the South West patrolling it at night, back when I was a police officer. That’s where I learned every corner of it, street by street. I bought my first properties there, on Rue de la Congrégation, at a time when nobody wanted to live there yet: an area full of history that time eventually caught up with. With its scarce inventory and exceptional quality of life, it’s now, in my view, one of the most solid investments in Montreal. And I’ve kept my favourite spots there: Café September, the bars on Notre-Dame Street and Sumac restaurant.
The South West has changed a lot, and I see it every time I’m there. Along the Lachine Canal, Griffintown has seen condo towers go up where there used to be vacant lots; Saint-Henri, around Atwater Market and Notre-Dame Street, has kept its working-class soul while drawing a new generation; Little Burgundy, Oscar Peterson’s home turf, carries on Montreal’s jazz heritage; and the quieter Pointe-Saint-Charles is known for its row houses. At the other end of the borough, Côte-Saint-Paul and Ville-Émard offer family calm and more affordable prices, steps from Angrignon Park.
It’s a multi-speed market: a new build by the canal isn’t read the same way as a century-old townhouse a few streets away. A fair valuation starts with the question of the area.
