The good reasons to live in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.
Living in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, the pros and cons. Pros: Houses with yards on the island, the Rivière des Prairies, Henri-Bourassa and Sauvé metro, and Laval in five minutes. A well-supplied single-family market, neighbourhood schools and Fleury Street for shopping. Cons: The median house exceeds $900,000: the entry point is the condo, and detached houses are contested. The Metropolitan and highway 15 cut through the borough: noise and traffic on the streets along them. For families who want a house with a yard on the island, a river at the end of the street, the metro and quick access to Laval and the highways: Ahuntsic is the compromise between city and suburb. Less so for those who want density, bars and nightlife: the borough is residential and calm, and Fleury closes early.
These are the points buyers report to us after visiting, not flaws on principle: each one weighs differently depending on whether you work downtown or remotely, own one car or two, have children or not. For a specific street, three things get checked on site before offering: the school catchment, the flood zone and the noise at rush hour.
