Buying a property in Lachine.
Old Lachine, the Lachine Canal and Lac Saint-Louis: Lachine offers waterfront neighbourhood life in western Montreal.
The local market
The Lachine real estate market.
Lachine stretches along Lac Saint-Louis, at the entrance of the Lachine Canal. Old Lachine, waterfront parks such as René-Lévesque Park and the bike path make it a popular area, while Lachine-Est is being redeveloped on former industrial land.
You will find older homes and plexes in Old Lachine, duplexes and houses in residential areas, and more and more recent condos. The atmosphere changes a lot between the waterfront and the north of the borough.
