Real estate in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve

Hochelaga-Maisonneuve — HoMa to those who know it — is one of Montreal's most compelling value propositions. In 2025, condo prices average $426,524, below the island average of $544,197, making it the most affordable neighbourhood directly served by metro on the island. Multifamily properties here deliver yields of 5.47% with rents growing 8% annually — numbers that attract serious investors who have done their homework.

HoMa is evolving rapidly. Rachel Julien's 928-unit Canoë project at 4500 Hochelaga Street is delivering its first phases in 2025, while a proposed $1.2 billion mixed-use project near L'Assomption station will add approximately 1,200 homes, including affordable housing. These large-scale investments reflect growing confidence in the neighbourhood's long-term future.

Alongside this growth, HoMa offers amenities that cannot be replicated: the Montreal Botanical Garden, the Insectarium, Parc Maisonneuve, the Olympic Stadium, and the Space for Life campus. These internationally recognized destinations anchor quality of life while surrounding property values remain among the most accessible on the island.
