The off-island municipality of Saint-Lazare is sought after by homebuyers in search of a quiet life, picturesque countryside, and suburban services. Known in the 18th century as the Seigneurie de Vaudreuil, the territory became a parish in 1875. A former agricultural town, Saint-Lazare underwent suburban growth during the 1990s as real estate prices on the Montreal Island placed home ownership out of the reach of many families.
One activity the area is noted for is equestrianism. In addition to various stables, the area is known for beautiful wooded riding trails.
