Buying a property in Lorraine.
A garden town built in the forest, Lorraine offers large homes on wooded lots and a rare sense of calm.
The local market
The Lorraine real estate market.
Lorraine was planned in the 1960s as a residential town integrated into the forest. Its winding streets, large wooded lots and Grand-Coteau Park give it a unique character on the North Shore. Shops are mostly in neighbouring towns.
The housing stock is almost entirely single-family homes, often spacious and in varied styles, on large wooded lots. Condos are rare.
