Updated October 2026
Saint-Hubert, one of the three boroughs of the city of Longueuil, continues its transformation with new residential developments that are redefining the real estate landscape of Montreal's South Shore. As a RE/MAX Privilège broker active in the region since 2004, I guide you through the sectors and opportunities worth watching right now.
Booming Sectors in Saint-Hubert
Saint-Hubert benefits from a strategic location in the Montérégie region, between Old Longueuil, Brossard and Boucherville, with direct access to Highway 30 and Route 116. Longueuil's urban plan focuses mainly on consolidating and redeveloping already-urbanized land rather than building large new neighbourhoods on greenfield sites.
The Montréal Metropolitan Airport Sector
Since June 15, 2026, the former Saint-Hubert airport has welcomed commercial passenger flights under the name Montréal Metropolitan Airport (MET). The airport zone is first and foremost an employment hub in Greater Montreal, which directly influences residential demand in nearby neighbourhoods:
- A new terminal serving up to a dozen Canadian destinations
- About 13 million square feet of space dedicated to industrial and technology development
- A job pool that supports demand for buying and renting nearby
- Before buying nearby, check noise and flight paths
The Chemin de Chambly Corridor
The urban plan encourages the residential redevelopment of commercial sites and vacant or underused lots along Chemin de Chambly, between Rue Martin and Highway 30, near the Boulevard Cousineau and Gaétan-Boucher commercial hubs. This corridor is expected to welcome condominiums and rental buildings offering good value compared to Brossard.
Flagship Projects and Investment Opportunities
Several developments stand out for their potential.
New Neighbourhoods in the Moïse-Vincent Sector
Around Boulevard Moïse-Vincent and Grande Allée, the City plans new neighbourhoods in the remaining developable areas, subject to the upcoming regional wetlands and waterways plan. Buyers there are looking for:
- Recent, more energy-efficient construction
- Proximity to the shops on Boulevard des Promenades
- Quick access to Highway 30 and Quartier DIX30 in Brossard
- Proximity to the Saint-Hubert woodlands and Longueuil services
"Saint-Hubert offers the perfect balance between financial accessibility and quality of life, making it a wise choice for first-time homebuyers and investors alike." - Marc Pouliot, RE/MAX Privilège
Affordable Family Projects
For families seeking more space at a reasonable price, Saint-Hubert remains a top option. In September 2026, the median price of a single-family home sold in Saint-Hubert was $607,000, compared to $835,000 in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and $799,500 in Sainte-Julie.

Expert Tips for Smart Investing
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in the South Shore market, here are my recommendations to maximize your investment in Saint-Hubert's new developments.
Essential Selection Criteria
When evaluating a project, consider:
- The developer's track record and construction quality
- Whether the project is covered by the Garantie de construction résidentielle (GCR), where applicable
- Location relative to services, transportation and flight paths
- Projected condo fees and the state of the contingency fund
Timing and Purchase Strategy
Pre-construction purchases can offer launch pricing and the chance to customize certain elements. First-time buyers of a new home can also benefit from a 30-year amortization on an insured mortgage and the federal First-Time Home Buyers' GST rebate. However, a thorough analysis of the local market and the developer remains essential.
To effectively navigate this evolving market and identify the best opportunities for your goals, work with a professional who has been helping buyers from Carignan to Longueuil since 2004.
