Old Longueuil

Century-old houses, a street full of terraces, and the metro at the end of the road.

Old Longueuil (Vieux-Longueuil) is the historic heart of Longueuil, on the river. Around the Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue co-cathedral and rue Saint-Charles, you find old houses, plexes, cafés and restaurants with terraces.

It is home to the only metro station on the South Shore: Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke, on the yellow line, a few minutes from downtown Montreal.

Parc Marie-Victorin runs along the river, with a bike path and a view of Montreal. In summer, a river shuttle crosses to Montreal.

It’s for you if…

You want to live without a car, or almost.
You love old houses and walking to the café.
You are thinking of a plex: live in one unit and rent the others.

Maybe not for you if…

You want a new home with no surprises.
You want a big lot and plenty of parking.

Before buying here, we check

The old houseFoundation, plumbing, electrical, insulation, and sometimes an old buried oil tank: the inspection matters even more here.
Renovation rulesIn the old sector, some exterior work must be approved by the City. We check before you plan your renovations.
The leasesFor a plex, we read every lease: rents, end dates, and what you will or won’t be able to change as the owner.

The question to ask yourself

Is a plex a good first purchase?

It can be: the rents help pay the mortgage. But you become a landlord, with tenants who have rights. Before the offer, we look at the leases, income and expenses with you and your mortgage professional.

Selling here

Here, buyers pay for charm and the metro, but they fear bad surprises. Well-organized reports and work invoices reassure them and help defend your price.
