Living · Family · Anjou · October 12, 2026
Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Anjou offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Anjou with a family. The borough falls under the Centre de services scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île and the English Montreal School Board. Parc Lucie-Bruneau and Parc Goncourt are the large green spaces; Parc Roger-Rousseau, with its arena and pool, is the sports centre; the Hydro-Québec corridor bike path crosses the borough. Anjou has no metro yet: buses on Joseph-Renaud, des Galeries-d'Anjou and Jarry reach Radisson, Langelier and Honoré-Beaugrand stations (green line). Pro: A suburban house with garage without leaving the island, next to highways 40 and 25, the Galeries d'Anjou and large parks. Con: No metro until the Blue Line arrives: Anjou is lived by car, and the bus is the only public transit. 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.
Anjou for a family: what really matters, schools, parks, commutes, space and price, taken from our neighbourhood guide and from what families tell us after the visits. The figures are those published by the APCIQ for the second quarter of 2026; nothing is embellished.
The school catchment of a specific address cannot be guessed: it is checked with the school service centre before offering, and subsidized daycare spots are requested early, everywhere in the region.
For a family, the commute is measured at rush hour, with the detour by the daycare or the school: do it once on a Tuesday morning before deciding.
