Living · Without a car · Blainville · October 13, 2026
Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about Blainville, and a clear verdict: with a single car.
Living in Blainville without a car. Verdict: With a single car. Blainville station, on the exo Saint-Jérôme line, leads to Central Station; exo Laurentides buses reach Montmorency metro. Blainville's equestrian park, the woods and the bike path network are the large spaces; the recreational aquatic centre, the arenas and the Fontainebleau and Chambéry parks complete the offer. Pro: Large recent houses in planned neighbourhoods, parks, bike paths, a well-off city and highway 15. Con: Little train service: the Blainville train has limited departures and highway 15 is saturated in the morning toward Laval and Montreal. For families who want a large recent house in a planned neighbourhood, parks, bike paths and an affluent city, and who have the budget; for those working in Laval or the Laurentians via the 15.
Living in Blainville without a car: what our neighbourhood guide says about the metro, the train, the bus, the bike lanes and what is done on foot, then a clear verdict, deduced from a rule we write out in full. No commute time is invented: the sentences are the guide's, and the figures are those published by the APCIQ.
The guide names the bus, or a train that neighbourhood life is not enough to replace: a household lives here with a single car, not without one.
"Without a car, yes" when the guide names a metro, a REM or a train serving the neighbourhood, without the guide saying it is lived by car. "With a single car" when the guide names only the bus, or a train that neighbourhood life is not enough to replace. "A car is a must" when no metro, REM or train serves the neighbourhood on foot and the guide says it is lived by car. The rule is the same for all 53 neighbourhoods; it does not replace your real commute on a Tuesday morning.
For families who want a large recent house in a planned neighbourhood, parks, bike paths and an affluent city, and who have the budget; for those working in Laval or the Laurentians via the 15. Less so for those seeking the North Shore's entry price or an old village: Blainville is new, green and expensive.
With a single car. The guide names the bus, or a train that neighbourhood life is not enough to replace: a household lives here with a single car, not without one.
Blainville station, on the exo Saint-Jérôme line, leads to Central Station; exo Laurentides buses reach Montmorency metro. Highway 15 crosses the city toward Laval, Montreal and the Laurentians; Highway 640 links it to Boisbriand, Terrebonne and Mascouche. The car is the norm; the train serves downtown workers.
The real commute to work on a Tuesday morning, at rush hour, and the walking distance to the grocery store, the school and the daycare from the shortlisted street: two streets in the same neighbourhood are not equal. No entry price: the affordable house has become rare, and so have condos.
