In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $320,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $346,345. No open sale prices are published in Quebec, so for Centre the census value is the measure.

Behind property-roll values and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Longueuil, with Centre one part of it.
