Gentilly

Gentilly doesn't get the attention it deserves, and that's exactly why it's worth your consideration. It's one of the most affordable entry points in the city with solid bones: mid-century bungalows, good lot sizes, a strong community feel, and improving infrastructure.

If you're a first-time buyer who wants more house for your money and you're willing to be patient while the neighborhood continues to grow, Gentilly is one of the smartest plays in the market right now. Flood zone varies here more than almost anywhere else in the city, so I always pull the specific data on any property before we get serious. That due diligence matters more in Gentilly than most.
