Cars are a very good transportation option in Saint-Laurent. Coming across a place to park is quite easy, and many properties for sale are a short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Autoroute Décarie. This area is also quite transit friendly. Homeowners profit from Côte-Vertu Station and Du Collège Station with access to the Orange Line. The borough is connected by around 40 bus lines, and the closest bus stop is usually just around the corner. Saint-Laurent is not particularly cycling-friendly since there are few bike lanes. Nevertheless, there are a limited number of elevation changes, and some bicycling-friendly pockets exist. There also aren't many pedestrians out on the streets of Saint-Laurent, despite the fact that meeting day-to-day needs is convenient.
Services
A supermarket is usually reachable within a reasonably short walk from most homes for sale in Saint-Laurent. There are also a limited number of options for those who value nearby restaurants and cafes. With regards to education, in this area, families will typically be able to get to daycares and primary schools on foot. However, high schools are not particularly plentiful and accordingly not always within walking distance.
Character
Saint-Laurent offers a vast selection of green spaces to enjoy. More specifically, green spaces, like Parc-Nature du Bois-de-Liesse, are very well-situated and there are over 100 of them nearby for residents to visit, which makes it easy to access them. At the same time, the majority of streets have sub-par tree coverage. Lastly, this borough remains relatively quiet, due to the presence of few pedestrians, although noise levels are higher closer to the airport (YUL), one of the railway lines, Autoroute de la Côte-de-Liesse or Autoroute Chomedey.
