A subject that often sparks debates and preconceived ideas: the land in Montreal and its suburbs.

There are many myths surrounding the availability, quality, and prices of land in this region.

Let's deconstruct them.

There is a significant shortage of housing. Montreal and its suburbs have the potential to do more than their share.


Myth 1: Land in Montreal is rare and expensive

It is true that Montreal, being a large metropolis, has a high density and that available land may seem limited.


However, there are still opportunities for those looking to invest in real estate.


The suburbs of Montreal throughout its territory, as well as Laval, Longueuil, and Brossard, offer a variety of lands at often more affordable prices than those in the downtown area.


Moreover, with the development of new infrastructures and urban expansion, new lands are becoming available regularly.


Myth 2: The available lots are of poor quality

Another common myth is that suburban lots are of lower quality than those in Montreal.


In reality, suburbs often offer larger and better-suited lots for building family homes.


Municipalities are also investing in improving infrastructure, making these lots increasingly attractive.


Suburbs provide a quieter and often greener living environment, which can be a significant advantage for families and individuals looking to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life.


Myth 3: Investing in land is risky

Some people think that investing in land, especially in the suburbs, is risky due to the distance from the city center.


However, with the improvement of transportation networks and the increase in available services in the suburbs, these areas are becoming more and more self-sufficient and accessible.


The suburbs of Montreal are well served by highways, public transport, and bike paths, making it easier to travel to and from the city center.


It is important to deconstruct these myths to have a clear and informed view of land in Montreal and its suburbs


Whether you are looking to invest in real estate or to find land to build your dream home, there are many opportunities to explore.


Montreal and its suburbs offer quality land at affordable prices, with a pleasant living environment and constantly improving infrastructure.
