Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Beloeil and Mont-Saint-Hilaire offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Beloeil and Mont-Saint-Hilaire with a family. Both towns fall under the Centre de services scolaire des Patriotes and the Riverside School Board, with high schools on site. The Gault nature reserve on Mont Saint-Hilaire (trails, Lake Hertel, summits) is the large space; the Richelieu riverbanks, the orchards and the neighbourhood parks complete the offer, with the arenas, the pool and Beloeil's cultural centre. The exo Mont-Saint-Hilaire line stops at McMasterville station (for Beloeil) and at Mont-Saint-Hilaire station, the terminus, with Central Station at the end; exo Vallée-du-Richelieu buses reach the Longueuil terminus. Pro: The mountain, the Richelieu River, two old villages and a train to downtown, in a calm, artistic valley. Con: The valley is lived by car and train: no metro, and the Mont-Saint-Hilaire train runs at peak hours only. For families and couples who want nature, the mountain, the river, two old villages and a train downtown, in a calm, artistic valley; for those working in Saint-Hyacinthe or Longueuil via the 20. Less so for those who want the metro or a dense town: the valley is lived by car and train, and Mont-Saint-Hilaire is expensive at the foot of the mountain.

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.
