Living · Without a car · Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse · October 13, 2026
Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse, and a clear verdict: without a car, yes.
Living in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse without a car. Verdict: Without a car, yes. 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. 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. Pro: The North Shore one bridge from Laval, a CEGEP, a train station, old downtown Sainte-Thérèse and the Faubourg Boisbriand. Con: 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.
Living in Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse 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 a metro, a REM or a train that serves Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse: you can live here without a car if work is on the line, and the rest is done on foot, by bike or by bus.
"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 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.
Without a car, yes. The guide names a metro, a REM or a train that serves Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse: you can live here without a car if work is on the line, and the rest is done on foot, by bike or by bus.
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. Highways 15, 13 and 640 cross in the sector: Laval, Montreal, the airport and the Laurentians are all in direct reach. It is the North Shore sector where you can most easily do without a car to get downtown.
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. House supply is the thinnest on the North Shore (96 listings): little choice and multiple offers.
