Borough of Montreal
Real estate broker in Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles
Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles is the east end’s big family borough: 26,625 single-family properties — the largest stock on the island — between two shores, the Rivière des Prairies to the north and the St. Lawrence to the south. And it is an area Ernso Cléus knows from the inside: he grew up in Rivière-des-Prairies.

Two shores, two markets
Rivière-des-Prairies — the big 1980s neighbourhood: 37% of the borough’s stock dates from that decade. Family cottages and bungalows, quiet streets, redeveloped riverbanks.
Pointe-aux-Trembles — along the St. Lawrence: Vieux-Pointe-aux-Trembles, its original streets and one of the island’s most accessible waterfronts.
A bridge away from Repentigny and Laval, the borough is the hinge between the island and the ring — and the Haitian community is at home here, served in Creole as well as French.

The Rivière-des-Prairies housing stock in numbers
Here is the picture of the borough housing stock from the 2026 municipal assessment roll (public MEFQ data) — not the sale price. The municipal assessment is not the market value: that is read in the recent real sales on your street. Why the municipal assessment differs from market value.
The borough’s stock carries the age of its 1980s: the houses are approaching forty, and their original components come up regularly in inspections. Entering the market with a verified file — before the buyer’s inspector does it for you — protects your price. And the right position is read in the real sales of your area: RDP does not sell like the Pointe.
