A new semi-detached home near Griffintown, at ground level this time
You live in Griffintown, between the Lachine Canal and Notre-Dame Street West, and a new semi-detached home near Griffintown keeps crossing your mind? The BÉAcité project is in Sainte-Julie, on the South Shore, on Geoffrion Street. According to the OSRM route planner, it's about 33 km away via the Ville-Marie Expressway, the Jacques Cartier Bridge and Highway 20, or roughly 35 minutes without traffic; via the Samuel De Champlain Bridge and Highway 30, the drive is about 40 km and takes 37 to 39 minutes. At rush hour, expect more.
Griffintown is part of the Le Sud-Ouest borough, and close to 9,600 homes have gone up there since 2007, according to the 2023 review of the area's special planning program (PPU). In the six 2021 Census dissemination areas that cover it, 92.1% of dwellings were apartments in buildings of five storeys or more, and Statistics Canada counted no semi-detached houses at all. BÉAcité brings that missing format, brand new: 50 single-family semi-detached homes, each with its own garage, basement, private garden and garden-level backyard.

Information and visit request
Why a new semi-detached home near Griffintown, in Sainte-Julie
Griffintown and Vilamo share something uncommon: both are recent neighbourhoods shaped by their city's planning. In Griffintown, the special planning program adopted in 2013 guided what got built; in Sainte-Julie, Vilamo is a 33.5-hectare integrated project around the golf course, where architectural standards govern how the homes look. Choosing a new semi-detached home near Griffintown means changing scale rather than changing era.
More rooms, on more than one level
In the 2021 Census, one Griffintown home in two (52.0%) had a single bedroom. The Duo cottage spreads 2,018 sq ft of living space over two storeys, above an 858 sq ft basement; the semi-detached bungalow keeps 1,006 sq ft on one floor, with a basement of the same size.
A yard, sometimes with nobody behind it
The backyard sits at garden level, exterior landscaping is finished on delivery, and several lots have no neighbour at the back. A pool or a spa can be considered there.
Comfort as a starting point
Nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, large windows in every room, central air conditioning, a central forced-air gas system and a quartz countertop all come with the house, not as add-ons.
Green space by design
Vilamo sets aside 600,000 sq ft for green space, more than 15% of the neighbourhood, and a promenade is reserved for pedestrians, bikes and electric transportation. Every home is less than 300 m from a bus stop, and local transit in Sainte-Julie is free.
New-home protection
In Quebec, a new home sold by a contractor must be covered by the mandatory guarantee plan for new residential buildings; the sales director will walk you through that coverage.
Getting there from Griffintown without a car
In the 2021 Census, 52.0% of Griffintown commuters got to work some other way than by car, including 25.8% on foot. On weekdays, you can make the visit by transit: the metro to Longueuil, exo bus 350, then the T34 taxibus, booked ahead, or about 65 minutes from Bonaventure station in an example drawn from the schedules for Monday, November 2, 2026. Once you live in Sainte-Julie, though, the car comes back into the picture: 90.2% of the city's commuters drive.

When the family grows
In Griffintown, the 2021 Census counted 540 children aged 0 to 4, but 215 aged 10 to 14: you can read that as an area too new to have older kids yet, or as families leaving as their children grow. The area is still waiting for its elementary school, according to the City's latest public information (May 2025); Sainte-Julie has seven elementary schools and a high school.
