Saint-Léonard Real Estate & Houses for Sale

No matter what type of character home buyers prefer in a borough, Saint-Léonard is a fairly good option. Most areas in Saint-Léonard are very quiet, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue. On the other hand, this borough features a fair amount of greenery; parks, including Parc du Boisé Jean-Milot and Parc de la Louisiane, are especially well-located and there are over 50 of them close by for residents to enjoy, which makes it easy to access them. Residents will also find that the tree canopy coverage for the majority of streets is reasonably good. Lastly, even though this part of the city is not known for its vibrancy, its busier streets are still quite dynamic, and finding one of the around 20 nightlife venues is very easy because they are generally situated in very convenient locations. Rue Jarry in particular offers a great variety of places to go out at night.

Transportation

Saint-Léonard permits house buyers to get around using a diversity of means of transportation. The reasonably good public transit service makes transit a viable option for many due to 3 train stations (e.g., Gare Anjou and Gare Saint-Michel-Montréal-Nord) with access to the 15 - Mascouche, and about 40 nearby bus lines. Many of the homes for sale in this part of Montréal are located in areas that are also rather well-suited for pedestrians; carrying out daily needs is easy without a vehicle, and there are also a good number of businesses close by. Commuting by bicycle is easy in Saint-Léonard as bicycling is made easier by the generally flat terrain.

Housing

Most of the housing growth in Saint-Léonard happened in the 1960s and 1970s. The predominance of small apartment buildings in the housing stock of this area is an important part of its character. Renters occupy about two thirds of the dwellings in Saint-Léonard while the rest are occupied by owners. This borough is primarily composed of two bedroom and three bedroom homes.
