Living in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse: the pros and cons in 2026, by a team that sells there

Living · Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse · October 11, 2026

The good reasons to live in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.

Living in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse, the pros and cons. Pros: The North Shore one bridge from Laval, a CEGEP, a train station, old downtown Sainte-Thérèse and the Faubourg Boisbriand. A house under $700,000 or a condo under $400,000, and students and young households who keep the centre alive. Cons: House supply is the thinnest on the North Shore (96 listings): little choice and multiple offers. Highways 15, 640 and 13 surround the sector: noise and traffic on the streets along them. For those who want the North Shore one bridge from Laval, with a CEGEP, a station, an old downtown and the Faubourg, in a house under $700,000 or a condo under $400,000; for students and young households in Sainte-Thérèse. Less so for those who want a large new house at a moderate price: supply is thin and the high end negotiates.

The pros: the good reasons to live in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse

• The North Shore one bridge from Laval, a CEGEP, a train station, old downtown Sainte-Thérèse and the Faubourg Boisbriand.
• A house under $700,000 or a condo under $400,000, and students and young households who keep the centre alive.
• Getting around. Sainte-Thérèse station, on the exo Saint-Jérôme line, leads to Central Station; exo Laurentides buses reach Montmorency metro via Highway 15 in a few kilometres.
• Parks, leisure and shopping. The Rivière des Mille Îles park in Boisbriand, the Grand Coteau and the neighbourhood parks are the large spaces; the arenas, the pools and the Lionel-Groulx theatre in Sainte-Thérèse complete the offer.
• Schools and services. The sector falls under the Centre de services scolaire des Mille-Îles and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board; Cégep Lionel-Groulx is in Sainte-Thérèse.

The cons: what you have to accept

• House supply is the thinnest on the North Shore (96 listings): little choice and multiple offers.
• Highways 15, 640 and 13 surround the sector: noise and traffic on the streets along them.
• Few large new houses at moderate prices; the high end gets negotiated and the old stock needs work.

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.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

For those who want the North Shore one bridge from Laval, with a CEGEP, a station, an old downtown and the Faubourg, in a house under $700,000 or a condo under $400,000; for students and young households in Sainte-Thérèse. Less so for those who want a large new house at a moderate price: supply is thin and the high end negotiates.
