It was in Saint-Hubert that the first air mail route connecting Canada to the United States was established in 1928, marking the beginning of commercial aviation in North America. This agglomeration of more than 89,000 inhabitants has transformed itself from a peaceful agricultural community into the eighth most populous city in Quebec. Saint-Hubert’s history has been shaped by its unique aeronautical heritage: the Canadian Space Agency, Pratt & Whitney Canada, and the École nationale d’aérotechnique du Collège Édouard-Montpetit are all located there.

Saint-Hubert appeals to residents with its winning combination of proximity to Montreal, world-class infrastructure, and diverse residential offerings. Created in 1992, Parc de la Cité features a 1 km artificial lake and offers green spaces and recreational activities. Four large industrial parks boost the local economy, creating jobs and economic stability. The imminent arrival of the REM (Réseau express métropolitain) is revolutionizing accessibility to Montreal, propelling Saint-Hubert as a destination of choice for families and professionals. A comprehensive range of commercial and service offerings meets all daily needs, with the Dix30 shopping center among its major commercial hubs.

The dynamism of Saint-Hubert’s real estate market reflects its growing popularity. The Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier sector in particular has seen spectacular appreciation in recent years. Sales times remain short, favoring sellers in a context of sustained demand, while the REM currently under construction is a catalyst for real estate appreciation in the medium term. For families and investors looking for a stable community with quick access to Montreal, Saint-Hubert combines a distinctive aeronautical heritage, superior infrastructure, and a dynamic real estate market undergoing rapid transformation.
