Montreal, Quebec
Griffintown had a population of 1,762,949, a median household income of $63,600, 36% of households owning their home at the 2021 Census of Population.
Griffintown is a dense, modern condo-centric neighbourhood just southwest of Old Montréal and downtown, known for its former industrial roots, new high-rise and mid-rise development, and a strong young-professional and student renter base. The area is walkable and amenity-rich, anchored by the Lachine Canal corridor, bike paths, parks (notably Parc du Bassin-à-Gravier and nearby canal greenspaces), gyms, cafés, restaurants, and everyday retail. Demographics skew toward higher-income renters and first-time buyers, with many smaller households and a high share of condominium dwellings compared with Montréal overall.
Transit access is a major draw: Bonaventure and Lucien-L’Allier metro stations are within reach depending on the exact address, and commuter rail/REM connectivity via downtown stations is close; multiple bus routes and excellent cycling infrastructure support car-light living. Nearby education options include École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) and proximity to downtown campuses (Concordia and McGill), supporting steady rental demand. Real estate trends in Griffintown are driven by continued supply additions and investor-owned condo inventory: prices and rents tend to be resilient due to location and lifestyle, but new completions can temper short-term price acceleration and keep yields moderate relative to Montréal’s more affordable plex-heavy neighbourhoods.
With limited live market data available in Griffintown, current active listing asking prices and days on market should be interpreted cautiously, as a small sample can make trends look sharper than they are. For buyers and investors, the best signal right now is how individual listings are priced relative to comparable units and how long they’ve been listed so far, which can indicate where there may be room to negotiate versus where demand is holding firm.
