Which way is the market leaning in L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève?
Few people realize that you can live almost in the countryside while remaining on the island: that’s L’Île-Bizard. Large lots, abundant nature, the Bois-de-l’Île-Bizard Nature Park and its marshes, golf courses, the feeling of a village at the end of a bridge. People come here for space and tranquility, often with family, often for a long time. It’s a niche market, more seasonal than the rest of the island, where buyers are looking for a lifestyle as much as a property. The scarcity of supply plays an underestimated role here.
