Question 1

Why has Verdun become so popular?

Accepted Answer

Verdun has experienced a remarkable transformation, becoming one of Montreal's most desirable neighborhoods. Wellington Street has evolved into a vibrant commercial strip with craft breweries, trendy restaurants, and independent shops. The neighborhood offers direct access to the waterfront along the St. Lawrence River, with the Verdun Beach (Montreal's first urban beach) and extensive riverside parks. The De l'Église and Verdun metro stations (Green Line) provide quick access to downtown. It's increasingly popular with young families attracted by the village feel, green spaces, and relative affordability compared to the Plateau.

Question 2

What types of apartments are available in Verdun?

Accepted Answer

Verdun's housing stock is predominantly older duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment buildings — classic Montreal walk-ups with 2–3 bedrooms. This makes it one of the better neighborhoods for finding larger apartments at reasonable prices. Some newer condo projects have appeared near the waterfront and along Wellington. The streets closest to the river (south of Wellington) tend to be quieter and slightly pricier. Units on the upper floors of walk-ups often have better natural light and river views. Many buildings have outdoor spaces — balconies and back yards are common.
