Two East-End Boroughs.
One Exceptional Plex Market.
Postwar Italian heritage meets a rich, multigenerational community. Semi-detached brick plexes, 8 in 10 residents from immigrant backgrounds, 600+ industrial businesses, a lakeside development, and two metro lines coming — the east end is moving.
An Established Community · A Diverse Plex Market
Saint-Léonard was built by Italian immigrant families in the postwar decades — and that heritage remains visible today on Via Italia and in the many single-family homes that second-generation families renovated, expanded, and invested in rather than leave. Over the decades, as many younger Italian families moved to Laval, the West Island, or RDP, new communities took root gradually and naturally.
Today, according to the 2025 Borough of Saint-Léonard profile, nearly eight out of ten residents are directly or indirectly from immigrant backgrounds. The largest communities are Algerian (22.5%), Italian (20.6%), Haitian (11.7%), and Moroccan (11.1%). This rich, multigenerational diversity creates broad and consistent rental demand — excellent fundamentals for the semi-detached brick plex market that defines the neighbourhood.
East-End Stability · Blue Line Coming
Anjou sits at the junction of A-40 and A-25 — the best highway access in east Montreal. Nearly 45,000 residents, 56% of whom are renters, create consistent demand for income properties. An industrial park covering 40% of the borough is home to 600+ businesses and drives steady employment across the area.
The Blue Line extension and planned Pink Line will bring two metro connections to Anjou — transforming what is already a strategic east-end location into one of the most transit-connected boroughs on the island. Unique to Anjou: the lakeside Anjou-sur-le-Lac development, with crescent streets and promenades bordering an artificial lake.

Plex specialists
Semi-detached brick duplexes and triplexes are the signature property type in both boroughs. We know how to value them, present them, and attract the right investor buyers — street by street, block by block.
A truly multilingual market
Nearly 8 in 10 Saint-Léonard residents are directly or indirectly from immigrant backgrounds — Algerian, Italian, Haitian, Moroccan and more. We serve all communities. French, English, Italian, Spanish, and Creole — no language barrier between us and your buyers or tenants.
Metro upside — both boroughs
Blue Line and Pink Line extensions will transform east-end transit access. We help buyers position wisely ahead of that shift — and help sellers communicate future value to motivated, informed investors.
Property types we handle in Saint-Léonard / Anjou
Plex & semi-detached revenue buildings
The signature property type of both boroughs. Wide-set semi-detached brick duplexes, triplexes, and 4 to 5-unit buildings are our core. We know this product inside out — valuation, positioning, and investor buyer targeting in both Saint-Léonard and Anjou.
Single-family homes
Sought after and increasingly rare in Saint-Léonard. In Anjou, the Haut-Anjou and Anjou-sur-le-Lac neighbourhoods offer family homes at competitive prices. We know where value lives in both boroughs and how to reach the right buyers.
Condos & new construction
High-rise condo activity has accelerated in both boroughs, particularly near planned transit corridors. In Anjou-sur-le-Lac, lakeside condos attract a distinct buyer profile. We guide buyers through declarations of co-ownership and help investors evaluate rental yield potential.
Commercial & industrial
Anjou's industrial park — 40% of the borough's territory — is home to 600+ businesses and generates steady commercial real estate activity. Active commercial corridors in Saint-Léonard on Jean-Talon, Jarry, Lacordaire, and Langelier. Our commercial designation covers both.
