Living in Lorraine
North Shore West
Lorraine is perhaps the most deliberately designed residential community in Greater Montreal — founded in 1960 as an ecology-first garden city, with no industry, minimal commerce, over 50 parks, and 40% of its territory protected as forest. Buyers pay a significant premium for the unique forested setting.
