Settling in Charlemagne
Is Charlemagne right for you?
Charlemagne suits first-time buyers, small families and retirees who want to stay close to the Island of Montreal. Because the city is surrounded by waterways, check whether the property is in a flood zone or near a regulated shoreline. Near Highway 40 and the end of Highway 640, visit at different times of day to gauge the traffic noise. Many buildings are several decades old, so a full inspection is important.
What you'll find here
- Bungalows and multi-storey homes
- Duplexes and triplexes
- Small multi-unit buildings
- Condos
- Commercial units on the main arteries

Our favourite spot in Charlemagne
Parc de la Presqu'île
Park
It is the most complete park in Charlemagne: water games, a skatepark, a basketball court and soccer fields that are lit in summer, tobogganing and an outdoor skating rink in winter. A good example of what the city offers families despite its small area.
Discover Parc de la Presqu'île →“I think Charlemagne has an advantage that is underrated: everything is done on a small scale, with neighbourhood parks like the Presqu'île park within walking distance.”

Why have a home inspected before buying?
