Sector N is an established neighbourhood where Parc Poly-aréna is a major landmark. A sound real estate decision still requires comparison of the street, property type, renovations and actual access to amenities.

Key takeaways
- Sector N developed mainly in the 1970s and retains a generally consistent built form.
- About 88% of residential buildings contain one dwelling, while multi-unit properties are concentrated near de Rome.
- Poly-aréna, schools and senior services create several demand profiles within the same sector.
A residential neighbourhood shaped by a major sports hub
Located on boulevard de Rome, Parc Poly-aréna is described by the City as its most important outdoor sports hub. Its presence gives Sector N a strong recreation and community landmark.
Proximity should still be assessed from the exact address. A home within walking distance may offer a different experience from one facing a busier road or an active area of the park.
Parc Poly-aréna redevelopment
The park redevelopment is proceeding in several phases. The City states that the first phase modernized six tennis courts and added a vegetated retention basin, furniture and plantings. In 2026, six pickleball courts and two additional tennis courts also opened.
Planned or active work may improve the neighbourhood but can also create temporary changes in access or activity. A real estate decision should distinguish completed amenities from future phases.
Buying an established Sector N property
Building age, maintenance and renovation quality may vary from one property to another. The inspection, seller’s declaration, invoices and permits help explain the roof, foundation, drainage, plumbing, electrical system and completed work.
Traffic, parking, proximity to boulevard de Rome and trips to services are also worth observing. Visiting in the evening or during a park activity provides a fuller view of daily life.
Value within the right micro-area
A relevant comparison prioritizes properties of the same type, similar size and age, with comparable lots and renovation levels. Proximity to a major park may support interest without automatically producing the same premium on every street.
The garage, basement, orientation, yard privacy and documented work should be explained in the analysis rather than buried in a general sector average.
Sell by connecting the home to the lifestyle
Marketing can highlight recreation access, mature streets and the home’s functionality. Photography and video should still present the building realistically, while documents support claims about completed work.
Positioning based on sales from the right micro-area helps attract buyers genuinely seeking this type of neighbourhood without overstating the effect of a single municipal amenity.
