Buying in Griffintown
Buying a property in Griffintown.
On the Lachine Canal, a few minutes’ walk from downtown, Griffintown is the quintessential recent-condo neighbourhood.
The local market
The Griffintown real estate market.
A former industrial area, Griffintown has been deeply transformed since the 2010s with the construction of many condo towers. The Lachine Canal, the École de technologie supérieure, restaurants and nearby downtown and Atwater Market attract urban buyers.
The neighbourhood is mostly recent condos of varied sizes and price points, with some lofts in former industrial buildings and townhouses. Buildings differ a lot in amenities, fees and management.
