Longueuil is the fifth most populous city in Quebec with approximately 269,000 inhabitants, forming the heart of an agglomeration with a total population of over 448,000. Located across from Montreal on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, it is the main urban center of the Montérégie region and the economic engine of the South Shore. After multiple mergers and demergers, Longueuil now consists of three boroughs: Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, and Greenfield Park. Connected to Montreal by the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the Louis Hippolyte La Fontaine Bridge-Tunnel, and an efficient public transit system combining buses and the metro, the city enjoys exceptional accessibility, making it a highly strategic suburb at the crossroads of highways to Quebec City, the Eastern Townships, and the United States.

Longueuil offers a complete urban environment that combines proximity to the metropolis with residential quality of life. The local economy is distinguished by a thriving aeronautics and aerospace sector, as well as the presence of Agropur, a major cooperative that processes more than a billion liters of milk annually. Residents enjoy outstanding university offerings with educational services provided by UQAM, the University of Montreal, and the University of Sherbrooke near the Longueuil metro station, as well as Collège Édouard-Montpetit. Old Longueuil, designated a heritage site in 1993, has more than 450 buildings erected before 1945, including St. Mark’s Church, built in 1842. The Théâtre de la Ville enlivens the cultural scene with its two performance halls.

The Longueuil real estate market is showing steady growth, with median property prices varying by borough, Greenfield Park being slightly more expensive than Saint-Hubert and Old Longueuil. Properties generally sell with modest bidding wars in sought-after areas. This diversity in terms of property type and sale price makes Longueuil a dynamic market offering a variety of options for all buyer profiles, from young professionals to established families, seeking to combine accessibility to Montreal with urban quality of life on the South Shore.
