the western tip of the Island of Montreal, the West Island is a vast area of 150 km\u00b2 with a population of nearly 238,000. Contrary to the image of a monotonous suburb, the region consists of a mosaic of independent municipalities and Montreal boroughs. For a prospective resident, this unique administrative structure is far from a mere detail: it explains why neighborhood atmospheres, service offerings, tax rates, and real estate market dynamics vary so significantly from one zip code to another.  <\/p><p>What defines the region\u2019s identity above all else is the omnipresence of water. Bordered by Lake Saint-Louis and the St. Lawrence River to the south, the Rivi\u00e8re des Prairies to the north, and Lake of Two Mountains and the Ottawa River to the west, the area offers a special connection to nature, while remaining firmly rooted on the Island of Montreal. <\/p><p>For someone looking to buy, this exceptional setting is more than just a pretty backdrop. In the West Island, proximity to a navigable waterfront, walking distance to a large nature park, or a neighborhood\u2019s orientation relative to major thoroughfares are fundamental criteria. It is these natural and urban elements that truly dictate the quality of daily life, while directly influencing the market value of each micro-neighborhood.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79628d4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"79628d4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7a9851 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b7a9851\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/realta_region_westIsland_geographie.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-33901\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/realta_region_westIsland_geographie.jpg 650w, https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/realta_region_westIsland_geographie-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23b8d57 js__section e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"23b8d57\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21cbc43 js__section--label elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"21cbc43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\twest island\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84fde8e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"84fde8e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"histoire\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3980524 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3980524\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdd8e6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cdd8e6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"305\" src=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/realta_region_westIsland_histoire.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-33903\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/realta_region_westIsland_histoire.jpg 650w, https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/realta_region_westIsland_histoire-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27e7b6a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"27e7b6a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26808ed elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26808ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The History of the West Island: Understanding the Roots of Today's Housing Stock<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d2cf6b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1d2cf6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The history of the West Island isn\u2019t just a matter of dates; it directly explains the types of properties you\u2019ll find there today.

At the end of 2025, the median price of a single-family home in Pierrefonds-Roxboro ($621,300) or Pointe-Claire ($743,500) remained extremely attractive compared to central Montreal neighborhoods. By comparison, a single-family home cost approximately $935,000 in Ahuntsic-Cartierville and over $1 million in Rosemont\u2013La Petite-Patrie. For a family looking for space, good schools, and convenient access to the city, this value for money is simply hard to beat.

By balancing your budget, your practical transportation needs, and your vision for family life, we help you navigate these local nuances. <\/p><p>Let us guide you through the process with confidence, so that your next real estate decision is not only well-informed but also perfectly aligned with what you\u2019re truly looking for in the West Island.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba07602 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ba07602\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1195153 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1195153\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/realta_region_footer.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-31539\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/realta_region_footer.jpg 500w, https:\/\/realta.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/realta_region_footer-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t<header class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7839763 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7839763\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3704f4 shortcode__sousPage--ville elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"d3704f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><ul class=\"ville__sibling--content\"><li class=\"ville__sibling--item region__liste--cus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/en\/properties-by-region\/montreal\/montreal-ahuntsic-cartierville\/\">Montr\u00e9al Ahuntsic-Cartierville<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ville__sibling--item region__liste--cus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/en\/properties-by-region\/montreal\/montreal-cote-des-neiges-notre-dame-de-grace\/\">Montr\u00e9al C\u00f4te des Neiges Notre-Dame-de-Gr\u00e2ce<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ville__sibling--item region__liste--cus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/en\/properties-by-region\/montreal\/montreal-lachine\/\">Montr\u00e9al Lachine<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ville__sibling--item region__liste--cus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/en\/properties-by-region\/montreal\/montreal-le-plateau-mont-royal\/\">Montr\u00e9al le plateau Mont-Royal<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ville__sibling--item region__liste--cus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/en\/properties-by-region\/montreal\/montreal-le-sud-ouest\/\">Montr\u00e9al le Sud-Ouest<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ville__sibling--item region__liste--cus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/en\/properties-by-region\/montreal\/montreal-outremont\/\">Montr\u00e9al Outremont<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ville__sibling--item region__liste--cus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realta.ca\/en\/properties-by-region\/montreal\/montreal-rosemont-la-petite-patrie\/\">Montr\u00e9al Rosemont &#8211;
