10 reasons to live in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse in 2026, taken from our neighbourhood guide

Living · Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse · September 14, 2026

Transit, shops, nature, schools, character and prices: ten concrete reasons to choose Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse, and where to read the reasons not to.

Ten reasons to live in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: Sainte-Thérèse is the historic central town of the Lower Laurentians: a downtown with the church, the square, rue Blainville and its shops, Cégep Lionel-Groulx, the station, and neighbourhoods of 1920s-to-1970s plexes and houses around it. The two towns share Highways 15, 13 and 640, which makes them the North Shore's most connected point. Old Sainte-Thérèse and downtown concentrate the plexes, condos and old houses, at or below the median, with neighbourhood life on foot. Sainte-Thérèse's residential neighbourhoods (toward Blainville and Rosemère) line up the 1950s-to-1980s houses, at the median. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse guide, written by a team that sells there all year; the reasons not to live there (entry price, distance, school catchment, noise) are there too.

The 10 reasons, taken from our neighbourhood guide

1. 1. The character. Sainte-Thérèse is the historic central town of the Lower Laurentians: a downtown with the church, the square, rue Blainville and its shops, Cégep Lionel-Groulx, the station, and neighbourhoods of 1920s-to-1970s plexes and houses around it.
2. 2. The character. The two towns share Highways 15, 13 and 640, which makes them the North Shore's most connected point.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. Old Sainte-Thérèse and downtown concentrate the plexes, condos and old houses, at or below the median, with neighbourhood life on foot.
4. 4. The neighbourhoods. Sainte-Thérèse's residential neighbourhoods (toward Blainville and Rosemère) line up the 1950s-to-1980s houses, at the median.
5. 5. Getting around. Sainte-Thérèse station, on the exo Saint-Jérôme line, leads to Central Station; exo Laurentides buses reach Montmorency metro via Highway 15 in a few kilometres.
6. 6. Getting around. Highways 15, 13 and 640 cross in the sector: Laval, Montreal, the airport and the Laurentians are all in direct reach.
7. 7. Parks, leisure and shopping. The Rivière des Mille Îles park in Boisbriand, the Grand Coteau and the neighbourhood parks are the large spaces; the arenas, the pools and the Lionel-Groulx theatre in Sainte-Thérèse complete the offer.
8. 8. Parks, leisure and shopping. Shops are at the Faubourg Boisbriand, on rue Blainville and boulevard du Curé-Labelle in Sainte-Thérèse, and near the 15-640 interchange.
9. 9. Schools and services. The sector falls under the Centre de services scolaire des Mille-Îles and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board; Cégep Lionel-Groulx is in Sainte-Thérèse.
10. 10. The real estate market. The Boisbriand/Sainte-Thérèse sector is the North Shore's thinnest house market: 96 active listings in Q2 2026, a $640,000 median (+5 % year over year, +47 % in five years) and 29 days on market.

Every reason is a sentence from our Living in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse guide, written by a team that sells there all year, and the figures are those published by the APCIQ; nothing is added to make it look good. What the city does less well is also in the guide, in the "who it does not suit" section.

And the reasons not to live there

No city suits everyone: the entry price, the distance to work, the exact school catchment of the street, the noise of a highway or a rail line, parking. The neighbourhood guide says who Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse suits and who it does not; our method is to say it before the visit, not after.
