Kirkland, QC Real Estate - Houses For Sale in Kirkland, Quebec

Transportation

Kirkland is an extremely good part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area for moving around by car. It is very convenient to park, and the majority of real estate listings are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as Autoroute Félix-Leclerc. In contrast, commuting by public transit is challenging in this city. Thankfully, homeowners are served by approximately 10 bus lines, and bus stops are usually nearby. Despite the fact that there are not many elevation changes to confront cyclists, biking is at times challenging in Kirkland because this city has a rather limited bicycling infrastructure. Walking is also not especially feasible for residents in this city as carrying out daily needs is sometimes difficult without the use of a car.

Services

Getting to the closest supermarket by walking is feasible for some, but not all, property owners in this city. A small variety of restaurants and cafes is available as well. Concerning education, in Kirkland, families will commonly be able to access primary schools and daycares on foot. On the other hand, high schools are not abundant and therefore tend to require a very long walk to get to.

Character

Kirkland offers a slower-paced ambience and will appeal to home buyers who enjoy spending time in green spaces. This city is reasonably quiet, as the streets tend to be quite calm - although that is not the case around Autoroute Félix-Leclerc. Finally, greenery is prominent in this part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area; green spaces are easy to access, since there are approximately 30 of them nearby for residents to check out and reaching the closest park from a large number of properties is very easy. In addition, residents will find that the tree canopy coverage for the majority of streets is reasonably good.
