The rental market in Chomedey
Chomedey is Laval's most densely populated sector. The rental fabric is dominated by multi-unit buildings (from 4-plexes to 8-storey towers), with a recent acceleration of new condos along the future REM corridor (planned Carrefour Laval station). Direct access to Highway 13 and the Lachapelle Bridge — to Côte-Vertu metro in 15-20 minutes by STL bus — makes the sector strategic for tenants who work in Montreal but want more accessible rent.
Tenant profile — Chomedey
Dominant profile: immigrant and established families (Greek, Lebanese, Armenian, Maghrebi communities notably), young couples, Montreal commuters, North Shore CEGEP students. Price sensitivity is sharper than Laval-des-Rapides or Sainte-Rose, but rental stability is very strong — many tenants stay 5+ years in the same building.
Average time to lease: 3 to 5 weeks in high season, 4 to 6 weeks in low season. The July 1 peak is marked but spread out. Listings that go fastest have indoor parking, recent appliances, and proximity to a frequent STL stop.

Inside the neighbourhood
What drives rental demand in Chomedey
Transit, services, schools and tenant profile: the factors that set the rent you can achieve and how fast your unit leases.
Transit
Frequent STL buses (lines 24, 70, 73) to Côte-Vertu and Henri-Bourassa stations (orange line). Future REM East station forthcoming.
Walkability
Walkable around Curé-Labelle, Saint-Martin and Daniel-Johnson boulevards — groceries, pharmacies and restaurants on foot. More car-dependent in residential pockets.
Shops and services
Adonis (flagship Lebanese grocer, 5,000+ m² store), Vieux-Sainte-Rose Market nearby, Costco Chomedey, IGA, Provigo, Greek restaurants (Souvlaki Bar, Milos Laval), many medical clinics and long-term care facilities.
Schools
Collège Laval (private), Curé-Antoine-Labelle secondary, French and English primary schools, plus Université de Montréal's Laval campus nearby.
Parks and green space
Parc des Prairies (90 hectares, trails and ponds), Centennial Park, Couvrette Park, quick access to the Prairies and Mille Îles rivers.
Neighbourhood life
Vibrant multicultural life: Greek taverns, Lebanese pastry shops, Italian markets, summer community festivals. Mix of residential towers and family streets — a two-speed neighbourhood, dense along boulevards and quieter on side streets.
Who rents here
Established multicultural families, newcomers (high concentration), professionals working in Montreal but valuing space and parking, retirees. Very active market for towers and large 4½/5½ units.
Rent context
More accessible than Montreal for equivalent units, often with parking included. Recent towers near Centropolis and Place Bell push prices up, but older triplexes and walk-ups stay competitive.

Questions from Chomedey owners
Answers specific to the local market, tenant profile, and your neighborhood's particularities.
Get my evaluationIs the STL bus to Côte-Vertu really reliable as a leasing argument?+
Yes — line 70 is very frequent (every 5-10 min at peak). Mentioning real travel time (15-20 min door-to-door downtown) in the listing attracts young pros and students comparing with other Laval sectors.
My building is French but many candidates speak other languages — how to handle?+
Listing in French is mandatory (Bill 96), but nothing prevents an English version or even mentioning 'bilingual welcome'. Qualifying questions (income, references, credit verification) stay purely objective — native language is never an evaluation criterion.
Will the future Carrefour Laval REM already influence rents?+
Not in practice yet, but the anticipation effect has started. New developments along the planned route lease at $100-$200 above equivalent buildings farther away. For current owners, don't overprice rent based on a project not yet delivered.
Parking in Chomedey: outdoor or indoor, which leases better?+
Indoor when available — Chomedey has heavy winter snow and little free street parking. Reserved outdoor parking is still a solid asset. Total lack of parking reduces the candidate pool by 30-40 %.
