New semi-detached home near Varennes

The shortest way takes no highway at all: from rue Sainte-Anne, Route 132 heads south, boulevard Lionel-Boulet runs past Hydro-Québec's research institute, and Montée Sainte-Julie, which is Route 229, crosses Highway 30 and leads to Vilamo. Changing addresses here means staying on the same road and in the same RCM.

A finished home, lot included

Grading, complete landscaping and the garage, fitted with an outlet for plugging in an electric car, all come with delivery. Once you have moved in, the all-inclusive maintenance program takes over; the sales representative will give you its details.

Light and volume

Nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, generous windows in every room, a quartz kitchen counter, central air conditioning and a gas-fired forced-air system. A cathedral ceiling can be added in the dining room.

A neighbourhood built around green space

Vilamo sets aside 600,000 sq ft for green space, includes a promenade for pedestrians, bikes and electric mobility, and puts every home less than 300 m from a bus stop. In Sainte-Julie, the local bus is free at all hours, on every route.

People in Varennes like their town: in a Léger survey from March 2025, 98% rated their quality of life positively, and only 8% of those aged 55 and over said a move to another town within five years was likely. Yet the population is ageing — 19.4% aged 65 and over as of July 1, 2025, according to the Institut de la statistique du Québec — and a big house can end up asking more than it gives. If your situation changes, BÉAcité delivers a landscaped lot and hands the upkeep to an all-inclusive program.

In Varennes, one house in two is now between 25 and 45 years old. On Centris, the median resale price of a single-family home there was $643,750 in the third quarter of 2026, with an average of 21 days on the market — resales of every kind, not the price of a new semi-detached home. Compared with an existing house, a turnkey new build brings recent systems, the protection of Quebec's mandatory guarantee plan and a move-in with no renovation project. A checklist to weigh both options:

On one side, the St. Lawrence, Parc de la Commune and a Vieux-Varennes founded in 1672; on the other, a neighbourhood backing onto the Vallée-du-Richelieu golf course, where 15% of the land goes to community and recreational space. The two towns share the RCM and paratransit. Sainte-Julie has free local buses, but it is not the cheaper option: its median single-family resale price was higher than Varennes' in the third quarter of 2026. The full comparison:
