Verdun, Montreal Guide

Welcome to Verdun, Montreal

Verdun is a borough on the island of Montreal, Quebec, set along the south shore of the island where the St. Lawrence River provides a long, open waterfront. The riverside gives the borough much of its character, with green space and paths that invite walking, running, and cycling close to home.

The streets are largely residential, lined with the brick duplexes, triplexes, and low-rise apartment buildings typical of Montreal, alongside newer condominium developments. Commercial streets offer cafés, restaurants, and everyday shops within a short walk of many homes, while the Metro and nearby roadways connect residents to downtown Montreal and the rest of the island.

Families will find childcare options and schools within the area, including those served by the Lester B. Pearson School Board, which supports English-language education. Verdun suits young professionals, commuters, first-time buyers, and families who want urban convenience with easy access to the water and open space.
