Looking for a new home for sale in Boisbriand and hesitating between a semi-detached, a townhouse and a single-family home? The Cité du Boisé Dion residential project, by Habitations PM, brings all three formats together on one site, on rue Marie-Desjardins, a few minutes from Highway 15.
This article covers what a buyer should check before visiting: the home types offered, what “turnkey” means concretely, the neighbourhood services and the questions to ask the builder.
Why Boisbriand attracts so many new-home buyers
Boisbriand occupies a strategic position on Montreal’s North Shore. The city combines three advantages that weigh heavily in a buying decision:
- Highway access. Exit 23 off Highway 15 (Autoroute des Laurentides) and the proximity of the 640 make trips to Laval, Montreal or the Laurentians easy, without sacrificing the calm of a residential sector.
- Nearby services. Faubourg Boisbriand, Costco Boisbriand, Place Rosemère, daycares and Collège Boisbriand are all less than ten minutes away by car.
- The living environment. A new build on the North Shore means more generous lots and a quieter residential environment than on the island of Montreal, without moving away from the major roadways.
This is the context for Cité du Boisé Dion, a new residential project in Boisbriand developed in an established neighbourhood rather than on the outskirts.

Three home types, one project
Single-family homes: a private lot, with no work to plan
The single-family homes for sale in Boisbriand in this project sit on lots of 6,000 sq ft and more, fully fenced and landscaped, with a paved driveway.
The main advantage here is financial as much as practical: in a new construction project, exterior landscaping often represents an unexpected expense of several thousand dollars after taking possession. Here it is already included.
Townhouses: high-end finishes, already landscaped
The project’s townhouses focus on refined finishes. Inclusions notably cover:
- Primary bedroom with 9-ft ceilings
- Solid hardwood floors
- 48 x 36 ceramic shower
- Two patio doors
- Completed landscaping and air conditioning
Semi-detached homes: the project’s entry point
The semi-detached homes offer three bedrooms upstairs, with the option of adding a fourth bedroom in the finished basement. They include a garage, air conditioning, abundant windows, solid hardwood floors and 9-ft ceilings on the main floor.
It is often the formula chosen for a first new property in the area, or for a family that wants a garage and a finishable basement without managing a large lot.
What “turnkey” means concretely
The expression is used loosely everywhere in new real estate. At Habitations PM, for Cité du Boisé Dion, it covers:
- Complete exterior landscaping: landscaped and fenced lot, paved driveway.
- Interior finishes included: solid hardwood, ceramic, 9-ft ceilings, air conditioning depending on the model.
- No unexpected expenses at move-in.
The right reflex is still to ask for the detailed list of inclusions per model before signing. Inclusions vary from one unit to another, and that document is what counts.
The neighbourhood: what you find within five minutes

The Centre d’excellence des sports Rousseau is also in the area, a real plus for families with children enrolled in sports-study programs or minor hockey.
Visit the model homes without leaving home
Two Matterport virtual tours are available online: the bungalow model and the cottage model. You can move from room to room, assess the volumes and flow, then plan an in-person visit only for the models that truly interest you.
The detailed plans of the townhouses and semi-detached homes can also be viewed online, from the main floor to the finished basement.
