Why rent an apartment in Vieux-Longueuil
Le Vieux-Longueuil pairs the charm of a historic village core with the convenience of a major suburb: tree-lined streets, a co-cathedral and the shops of Rue Saint-Charles.
Thanks to the Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke metro, downtown Montréal is minutes away, which makes the area especially appealing to commuters, at gentler rents than on the island.
