The quality and diversity of its residential real estate park make this borough a particularly attractive place for investors and a well balanced living area for its residents. No bridges to cross or traffic to avoid: choosing LaSalle as a dwelling place is to win thousands of hours a year to enjoy life.
An exceptional environment
Surrounded by water – the Lachine Canal, the Montreal Aqueduct Canal and the St. Lawrence River - LaSalle is in the privileged position to offer its citizens access to eight kilometres of waterfront facing the Lachine Rapids most of which are within the public domain. The population density of 4 500 per square kilometre and its status as a regional commercial center are both assurances of the viability of many services and businesses benefiting the people of LaSalle. We may add to the previous a great number of cultural, sports, and leisure activities as well as major installations such as one of the best public libraries on the Island of Montreal, the Octogone, and a large interior aquatic center, the Aquadome. We should also note the presence of the LaSalle Hospital Center which offers intensive and short term hospital care services and is well known for its specialization in obstetrics and gynaecology. Finally, some of the most beautiful bicycle and pedestrian paths of the Island of Montreal cross all the way through LaSalle, among them the Lachine Canal path and the Quebec Route Verte which runs all along the banks of the St. Lawrence River.
Neighbourhoods to fall for
LaSalle offers quite a choice of dwellings and residential neighbourhoods for all tastes and all purses: rich houses with a view on the St. Lawrence, duplexes and triplexes dating from the 1960s and carefully maintained by their resident owners, row houses with exterior staircases typical of Montreal, coop properties, homes for the autonomous retirees, etc. Because most new homes are built in already well established neighbourhoods, residents are sure to find all commodities nearby, whether they are schools, public transport or places of worship. People looking for a stylish house in an older neighbourhood, or a revenue generating building, or a brand new condo, are all certain to find the object of their desire in LaSalle.
A borough favourable to investment
All previous elements result in favourable returns on investments for people investing in LaSalle. Small entrepreneurs or major promoters can all benefit from the interesting opportunities arising from the vacating of lots of former industrial or commercial buildings in existing residential zones. In fact, even though the territory is almost entirely urbanized, LaSalle has emitted an average 218 M$ in residential construction permits during the last four years for a total of 200 housing units per year. The Urban Planning team advises and counsels all investors on their projects, from conception to realisation.
Choosing LaSalle for life
With today’s increasing sensitivity towards environmental concerns and rising fuel prices, quality residential neighbourhoods near the downtown core have a very promising future. LaSalle, everything for a great life!
