10 reasons to live in Fabreville in 2026, taken from our neighbourhood guide

Living · Fabreville · September 14, 2026

Transit, shops, nature, schools, character and prices: ten concrete reasons to choose Fabreville, and where to read the reasons not to.

Ten reasons to live in Fabreville, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: The north of the sector touches the Rivière des Mille Îles and its banks; the south runs along Highway 440 and its shops. It is a family, mixed neighbourhood where Laval's first-time buyers still find a house under $550,000, and where investors look for bungalows to renovate. Fabreville-Est, toward Sainte-Rose and the station, is the most sought-after sector, with the calmest streets and the best-kept houses, at or above the median. The centre, around boulevard Curé-Labelle and montée Montrougeau, concentrates shops, condos and the original bungalows that make the volume. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Fabreville 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. The north of the sector touches the Rivière des Mille Îles and its banks; the south runs along Highway 440 and its shops.
2. 2. The character. It is a family, mixed neighbourhood where Laval's first-time buyers still find a house under $550,000, and where investors look for bungalows to renovate.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. Fabreville-Est, toward Sainte-Rose and the station, is the most sought-after sector, with the calmest streets and the best-kept houses, at or above the median.
4. 4. The neighbourhoods. The centre, around boulevard Curé-Labelle and montée Montrougeau, concentrates shops, condos and the original bungalows that make the volume.
5. 5. Getting around. Fabreville has no station of its own: Sainte-Rose station (exo Saint-Jérôme line) is at the eastern limit, and STL buses reach the Montmorency terminus.
6. 6. Getting around. Highway 13 crosses the sector toward Chomedey, the airport and the Louis-Bisson Bridge; Highway 440 leads to the Carrefour Laval and Highway 15.
7. 7. Parks, leisure and shopping. The Rivière des Mille Îles banks and the Bois de l'Équerre, at the Sainte-Rose limit, are the large spaces; neighbourhood parks, the arena and the pool complete the offer.
8. 8. Parks, leisure and shopping. Shops are on boulevard Curé-Labelle, montée Montrougeau and along Highway 440; Old Sainte-Rose, next door, offers the restaurants.
9. 9. Schools and services. The sector falls under the Centre de services scolaire de Laval and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board.
10. 10. The real estate market. The condo ($375,000, -9 % year over year, +42 % in five years) sells in 33 days with 58 listings.

Every reason is a sentence from our Living in Fabreville 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 Fabreville suits and who it does not; our method is to say it before the visit, not after.
