Living · Anjou · October 11, 2026
The good reasons to live in Anjou, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.
Living in Anjou, the pros and cons. Pros: A suburban house with garage without leaving the island, next to highways 40 and 25, the Galeries d'Anjou and large parks. A good base for working in Laval, on the North Shore or in the east, and a Blue Line on the way. Cons: No metro until the Blue Line arrives: Anjou is lived by car, and the bus is the only public transit. No neighbourhood shopping street: shops are in malls and along the boulevards. For families who want a suburban house with a garage without leaving the island, next to the highways, the Galeries and the parks; for those who work in Laval, on the North Shore or in the industrial east. Less so for those who want to walk to the metro (not before 2031) or a neighbourhood shopping street: Anjou is lived by car.
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.

If the pros column weighs more than the cons in your actual week, Anjou is a good choice; if not, our 10 reasons to live in Anjou and our Living in Anjou guide help you decide, and the pros and cons of all 53 neighbourhoods give the alternative next door.
