Investing in Pierrefonds-Roxboro
Rental potential in Pierrefonds-Roxboro
The REM's entry into service in 2025 changes access to downtown and may support rental demand near the stations, though its effect can't be quantified in advance. The rental stock is smaller than in the central neighbourhoods and consists mainly of duplexes, condos and a few apartment buildings. Commercial arteries such as boulevard Saint-Charles offer local commercial opportunities. Each building should be analyzed case by case.

Frequently asked questions
Real estate in Pierrefonds-Roxboro
Does the REM change investment interest in Pierrefonds-Roxboro?
Faster access to downtown may appeal to tenants who work in the city, especially near the stations. However, the decision should be based on the building's actual income and expenses.
What is the average price of a plex in Pierrefonds-Roxboro?
From January to September 2026, 11 plexes (from duplexes to quintuplexes) were sold in Pierrefonds-Roxboro, at an average price of $843,364 (source: Centris®). The right price for a building depends above all on its income: always compare the multiplier and the condition of the building.
How do you calculate the return on a revenue property?
Start with the gross income multiplier (price ÷ annual income), then calculate net income: rents minus taxes, insurance, energy, maintenance and vacancy. Then compare with similar buildings sold in the area. A good purchase is judged by actual income, not expected income.
What should you check in the leases before buying a building?
Ask for a copy of every current lease and renewal notice: rent, term, services included, special agreements. Compare the rents with the market in the area and check for vacant units. Leases stay with the building: the buyer takes them on as they are.
How much is the welcome tax on a plex in Pierrefonds-Roxboro?
For an $800,000 plex, roughly $11,349 based on the City of Montreal's 2026 schedule. Plan for this amount on top of your down payment, which varies depending on the number of units and whether you live in the building.
