Buying in Saint-Henri

Buying a property in Saint-Henri.

The Atwater Market, the Lachine Canal and Notre-Dame Street: Saint-Henri combines working-class heritage and sought-after neighbourhood life.

The local market

The Saint-Henri real estate market.

Saint-Henri, in the Southwest, grew around the Lachine Canal and its factories. Today, the Atwater Market, the restaurants on Notre-Dame Street West, the canal banks and former factories converted into lofts make it a highly sought-after neighbourhood.

You will find older plexes and workers’ houses, lofts in former industrial buildings and recent condos, especially near the canal. Each property type calls for its own checks.

They bought with Mercedes

What Montreal buyers say.

Buying a house in Montreal was easy thanks to Mercedes from Équipe MG. She is a knowledgeable and professional Montreal realtor who made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home or condo in MTL.
