Lachine, Quebec Apartment & House Rentals

Lachine is surrounded by water on the south shore of Montreal Island. The region was founded in 1667 by the French explorer Robert Cavelier as he looked for a path to China, formerly an autonomous capital. For this reason, it was named after the "little China" French translation that contributed to the name Lachine. However, though it was a community for the bulk of Canadian history, Lachine became a Montreal borough after the 2002 urban mergers. Lachine is one of the quietest and most calming suburban areas in Montreal, due to its secluded lakeside location.

Lachine is the ideal place for young families — 65% of the borough are families with children. The borough is perfect for those seeking to settle in Montreal, with its numerous schools, parks, and pools as well as its inexpensive real estate. There are also many retirement residences in the borough which make it attractive to older residents. There are many affordable houses for rent in Lachine depending on your lifestyle and budget, whether you're looking for a lovely waterfront house, a house by the busy Lachine Market or a home by Montreal airport.
