What the numbers mean

• Owners valued the median home at $530K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Montréal CMA MLS® Home Price Index (+22% since then), that is about $647K, close to the Montréal median of $611K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
• 80% of households rent, well above the 64% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
• 87% of homes are apartments (73% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.

How it's changing

Montréal doesn't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.
