What the housing stock changes here
Close to 73% of dwellings are detached single-family homes and 84% of households own their home — proportions recorded in the 2011 census and carried over into the urban plan. More telling still, average residential density, 10 dwellings per hectare, is the lowest in the whole Longueuil agglomeration. Nowhere else in the agglomeration does the private driveway do the job as often, and the driveway is precisely the placement that triggers no municipal paperwork at all.
The residential fabric comes mostly out of the 1950 to 1970 development boom, then out of the outlying-sector consolidation that began in the 1980s. Those houses are now at the heavy-renovation stage; 76% of dwellings have three bedrooms or more. The territory holds 26,887 residents under the 2026 population decree, across 42.25 km² of land area, 29.1% of it in the permanent agricultural zone.
Two landmarks that place the work: the ski hill and Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno together draw 900,000 visitors a year, and the village core grew up where chemin de Montarville meets De La Rabastalière, beside the 1851 Vieux Presbytère, today a classified heritage property.

Job sites, industry and retail
Two parks share the industrial activity: the Gérard-Filion business park, whose north sector keeps close to 44 hectares for high-performance industrial firms, and the Écoparc, west of Highway 30, nearly 100 hectares partly folded into the Longueuil airport zone. Together they account for close to 4,050 jobs and rank the city third among the agglomeration's industrial employment hubs. The city writes that it already hosts well-known companies such as Alstom, Norampac, Exceldor, Hydro-Québec and Stelpro.
On the retail side, Les Promenades Saint-Bruno, built in 1978, hold 82% of the territory's 2,294,000 square feet of commercial space. Two practical points for a contractor: no commercially sourced material is taken in at the network's ecocentres, which closes the only municipal door; and the Public Works truck weighing service, entered through the reception counter of the ecocentre at 600, rue Sagard, is billed at $28 in 2026.
A word on truck access: schedule I of by-law C. 9-2A bars trucks from some 365 streets, among them Roberval, rue Montarville, Seigneurial E and O, De la Rabastalière E and O, Grand Boulevard E and O, De Boucherville and Clairevue E. The ban lifts when the point is to pick up or deliver goods there, provide a service or carry out work — that is what the P-130-P and P-130-20 signs at the neighbourhood entrances mean. Rue Sagard, for its part, is not in that schedule.
