10 reasons to live in Pierrefonds-Roxboro in 2026, taken from our neighbourhood guide

Living · Pierrefonds-Roxboro · September 14, 2026

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

Ten reasons to live in Pierrefonds-Roxboro, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: Cap-Saint-Jacques, at the western end, is Montreal's largest nature park, with a beach, an ecological farm and trails; the Bois-de-Liesse, to the east, and the Anse-à-l'Orme nature park complete a green belt unique on the island. Roxboro, to the east, is the old core around the station; Pierrefonds West, beyond boulevard Saint-Charles, is the sector of the most recent developments. Roxboro, around the REM station and boulevard Gouin, is the old neighbourhood, with older and more affordable houses. Central Pierrefonds, around boulevard de Pierrefonds and boulevard Saint-Jean, is the commercial heart and the sector of 1960s and 1970s bungalows. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Pierrefonds-Roxboro 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. Cap-Saint-Jacques, at the western end, is Montreal's largest nature park, with a beach, an ecological farm and trails; the Bois-de-Liesse, to the east, and the Anse-à-l'Orme nature park complete a green belt unique on the island.
2. 2. The character. Roxboro, to the east, is the old core around the station; Pierrefonds West, beyond boulevard Saint-Charles, is the sector of the most recent developments.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. Roxboro, around the REM station and boulevard Gouin, is the old neighbourhood, with older and more affordable houses.
4. 4. The neighbourhoods. Central Pierrefonds, around boulevard de Pierrefonds and boulevard Saint-Jean, is the commercial heart and the sector of 1960s and 1970s bungalows.
5. 5. Getting around. Highway 40 is to the south, Highway 13 to the east; boulevard Saint-Jean and boulevard Saint-Charles cross the West Island north to south.
6. 6. Parks, leisure and shopping. Shops line boulevard de Pierrefonds, boulevard Saint-Jean and boulevard Saint-Charles; Fairview Pointe-Claire is the West Island's large shopping centre.
7. 7. Schools and services. The borough falls under the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys and the Lester B.
8. 8. The real estate market. The market favours sellers up to $1.11 million and tips toward the buyer above (10.5 months of inventory), where the waterfront properties are.
9. 9. Who Pierrefonds-Roxboro is for, and who it is not for. For families who want a suburban house with a lot, nature parks, a river and, since 2025, a direct REM downtown; for anglophones and newcomers looking for a bilingual neighbourhood.
10. 10. The character. The neighbourhood is bilingual and family-oriented, with a strong anglophone presence and Lebanese, Egyptian and South Asian communities.

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