The local market
The L’Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève real estate market.
Île Bizard is an island in the Rivière des Prairies, connected to Pierrefonds by the Île-Bizard bridge. The Bois-de-l’Île-Bizard nature park, golf clubs and the island’s shores give it a character very different from the rest of Montreal. Sainte-Geneviève keeps a village core on the neighbouring shore.
You will mostly find single-family homes, often on large lots, including waterfront properties and newer developments. In Sainte-Geneviève, older homes sit alongside condos.
