South Shore places you just across the river from Montreal, with leafy streets, family-friendly parks, and a pace that makes room for both career and weekend downtime. Commuters appreciate the new REM whisking riders downtown in minutes, plus quick bridge and bike-path access. Nature lovers head to Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville for canoeing, wildlife spotting, and island trails, while locals stretch their legs closer to home in Longueuil’s expansive green spaces and waterfront paths.
Everyday essentials are easy in Longueuil and Brossard, where you’ll find cafés, independent eateries, and destination shopping at Quartier DIX30. Community calendars fill with festivals and farmers’ markets, and sports centers keep arenas, pools, and fields buzzing year-round. Housing options run the gamut—from mid-century bungalows on quiet cul-de-sacs to modern townhomes and condos—often with driveways, yards, and room to grow.
Education is a major draw. The English-language Riverside School Board and French-language Centre de services scolaire Marie-Victorin serve a wide range of acclaimed elementary and secondary schools, and Champlain College Saint‑Lambert offers respected pre-university and technical programs. With bilingual services and a welcoming mix of longtime residents and newcomers, it’s a place where settling in feels straightforward.
