Greenfield Park

An English village in the heart of the South Shore, a neighbourhood born from a streetcar line, and the REM just steps away. Here's my top 10, neighbour version, not brochure version.

Let's talk about this area

Greenfield Park is a place a lot of Montrealers drive right past without ever turning in: tucked between Boulevard Taschereau and Saint-Hubert, it's one of the best-kept secrets on the South Shore. A former small town founded in 1911, now a borough of Longueuil, that has kept its village spirit and its own distinct personality. My home base is in Verdun, just across the river, and I work with buyers and sellers on both shores.

I put this top 10 together for a simple reason: when you buy or sell, you're not just shopping for a property, you're shopping for a neighbourhood life. Each point comes with an opening for a conversation. Use it.

The area's top 10

What makes Greenfield Park tick.

Ten reasons buyers fall in love with this neighbourhood, and why the people who live here don't leave.

01 Residential street lined with row houses near the corner of Bellevue and Hart streets, in Greenfield Park
Identity

The only bilingual borough in Longueuil

Founded on March 24, 1911, Greenfield Park was built up by families who came from Britain, to the point where in the 1960s, more than 60% of residents had British roots. It's still the only borough in Longueuil with officially bilingual status today, and people live comfortably here in French and in English alike. Actress Elisha Cuthbert grew up here, for what it's worth.

Ask me about it: ask me why this bilingual character attracts a type of buyer you won't really see anywhere else on the South Shore.
02 Montreal and Southern Counties streetcar station in Saint-Lambert in 1944, on the line that served Greenfield Park
Heritage

A neighbourhood born from a streetcar

From 1912 to 1956, the Montreal and Southern Counties interurban streetcar crossed the Victoria Bridge and ran up Churchill all the way to the corner of Springfield, right in front of today's borough office. A departure every twenty minutes toward Montreal, more than a century ago: it was that connection that turned green fields into a neighbourhood. The name Greenfield Park comes literally from that.

Ask me about it: ask me what the old streetcar route still reveals about the neighbourhood's most sought-after streets. History leaves traces on the map.
03 Snow-covered residential street in Greenfield Park, lined with single-family homes
Housing stock

Veterans' homes and postwar bungalows

After the Second World War, the town set up an assistance program to help veterans buy a home, and a whole area was built for them, notably along Bellevue Nord. The result today: a neighbourhood almost entirely made up of single-family homes, with mature lots and quiet streets where houses often get passed down from one generation to the next.

Ask me about it: ask me how to spot a veteran's house and why these small properties appeal so much to first-time buyers.
04 The René-Veillet community centre, seen from Parklane Street, in Greenfield Park
Traditions

Canada Day, the full production

Every July 1st, Greenfield Park goes all out: a four-kilometre parade sets off from the René-Veillet community centre, on Parklane Street, and the day continues at Empire Park with games, booths, and festivities into the evening. It's one of the most popular celebrations on the South Shore, and the whole neighbourhood turns out for it.

Ask me about it: ask me which streets let you watch the parade go by from your balcony. That kind of detail makes buyers smile on a visit.
05 The entrance to Centennial Regional High School, at 880 Hudson Street in Greenfield Park
Families

Schools in both languages

Few neighbourhoods let you raise your kids in both languages this easily. On the English side, Centennial Regional High School, opened in 1972 under the Riverside School Board, now serves more than a thousand students. On the French side, École secondaire Saint-Edmond falls under the Centre de services scolaire Marie-Victorin. And elementary schools from both systems round it all out.

Ask me about it: ask me which parts of the neighbourhood let kids walk to school. For a lot of families, that's the deciding factor between two properties.
06 The atrium of Charles-Le Moyne Hospital, in Greenfield Park
The anchor

Charles-Le Moyne Hospital

The South Shore's largest hospital is right here, on Taschereau: 571 beds, a teaching mandate affiliated with the Université de Sherbrooke, and since 2022, future doctors training just across the street at the Jean-Marc-Lepage pavilion. For the neighbourhood, that means thousands of workers within walking distance and a demand for housing that never sleeps.

Ask me about it: ask me what having a teaching hospital nearby actually changes for a homeowner or an investor in the area.
07 The entrance to the REM's Panama station, in Brossard, right at the edge of Greenfield Park
Transit

The REM, just steps away

Since July 2023, the REM's Panama station, just across Taschereau in Brossard, runs to downtown Montreal in a matter of minutes. Its terminus with about thirty bus platforms serves the neighbourhood directly, and the RTL also connects Greenfield Park to the Longueuil metro station on the yellow line. Two ways to get to work downtown without ever touching a bridge by car.

Ask me about it: ask me which parts of the neighbourhood benefit most from the REM effect. The answer can come down to a few streets.
08 RTL bus shelter on Boulevard Taschereau, at the edge of Greenfield Park
What's coming

Taschereau reinvents itself

The boulevard bordering the neighbourhood is one of the busiest corridors in Quebec, and Longueuil and Brossard have unveiled a shared vision to rethink it completely: a rapid bus line designed to become a streetcar one day, and more than 200 hectares to be redeveloped into real, livable neighbourhoods. The file moves into the hands of Mobilité Infra Québec in winter 2026. A generational project, right at the edge of Greenfield Park.

Ask me about it: ask me what a transformation like this has done elsewhere for the value of neighbouring areas. It's the kind of horizon a buyer should keep in mind.
09 The multi-use path at Parc Gérard-Carmel, in Greenfield Park
Nature

The green corridor of Parc Gérard-Carmel

A multi-use path crosses the north end of Parc Gérard-Carmel and runs alongside the rail line: people walk it, bike it, or sit on a bench there to watch the neighbourhood go by. Add Empire Park, its community garden, and its playgrounds, and you understand why residents don't need to leave the area to get some fresh air.

Ask me about it: ask me which streets back directly onto the green spaces. Within the same neighbourhood, that detail changes the everyday experience.
10 The fire station on Grande-Allée Street, in Greenfield Park
Neighbourhood life

Everything at village scale

Under five square kilometres, about 17,000 residents: you can walk across Greenfield Park. The borough office sits at the corner of Churchill and Springfield, the very spot where the streetcar used to stop a century ago, and neighbourhood services follow along Grande-Allée and Churchill. It's the kind of place where the grocer eventually learns your name, fifteen minutes from downtown Montreal.

Ask me about it: ask me why human-scale neighbourhoods like this one keep their residents longer than average. You can see it in the listings.
