Senior Residences in Montréal-Est

Last updated: August 7, 2026

Tucked onto the eastern tip of Montreal Island, Montréal-Est is a small, still little-known independent municipality. Even so, it is home to two excellent senior residences — including a brand-new Groupe Maurice flagship opened in 2023 — set in a calm and affordable environment.

Why consider Montréal-Est for a senior residence?

• Very affordable — among the lowest senior residence prices on the island while maintaining a high level of service
• Calm and safe — small, low-density municipality, limited through traffic, quiet residential environment
• Brand-new modern residence — Station Est (Groupe Maurice, opened 2023) is one of the newest senior residences in east Montreal
• Strong local community — well-established social fabric, municipal services accessible to seniors
• Close to east Montreal services — minutes from Pointe-aux-Trembles and Rivière-des-Prairies with their full range of services

What's available

• Large multi-service residence (Cat. 3) — Station Est with 361 units, pool, clinic and gardens, for autonomous and semi-autonomous residents
• Small certified residence (Cat. 3) — Résidence de la Béatitude, 20 units for autonomous, semi-autonomous and convalescent seniors

Senior housing in Montréal-Est is limited in number but high in quality, and the arrival of Station Est has genuinely reshaped the options available in this corner of the island.

About Montréal-Est

An independent municipality that never merged with the City of Montreal, Montréal-Est runs its own administration while sharing the health and transit infrastructure of the east end. The result is a stable, tight-knit community of roughly 3,800 residents, bordered by Rivière-des-Prairies, Pointe-aux-Trembles and Anjou.
