Ahuntsic-Cartierville: Space, Parks & Quiet Streets

Space & Affordability

Ahuntsic-Cartierville is where you go when you want more square footage for less. A 4½ typically rents for $1,000–$1,400, and spacious 5½ or 6½ units suitable for larger families run $1,200–$1,700. The neighborhood features a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, duplexes, and single-family homes — many with driveways and backyards, a rarity in central Montreal.

First-time buyers find excellent value here, with condos starting around $250,000 and detached homes available from $500,000.

Parks & Lifestyle

The Rivière des Prairies waterfront is Ahuntsic's greatest natural asset. Parc-nature de l'Île-de-la-Visitation stretches along the river, offering hiking trails, picnic areas, and stunning autumn foliage. Parc Ahuntsic and Parc Saint-Simon-Apôtre provide playgrounds and sports facilities closer to the residential core.

Fleury Street is the neighborhood's main commercial strip, with a growing number of restaurants, bakeries, and shops. The blue metro line's Henri-Bourassa station and the Sauvé station connect the area to downtown in about 20 minutes.

Moving to Ahuntsic-Cartierville

Ahuntsic is one of the most mover-friendly neighborhoods in Montreal. Streets are wide, parking is abundant, and many buildings have ground-level or elevator access. The main challenge is distance — if you're moving from the south shore or downtown, the drive north can add time and cost to your move.
