Living · Without a car · Brossard · October 13, 2026
Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about Brossard, and a clear verdict: without a car, yes.
Living in Brossard without a car. Verdict: Without a car, yes. The REM links Brossard to downtown Montreal from the Brossard, Du Quartier and Panama stations, with park-and-ride lots. Brossard lines up neighbourhood parks in every sector, bike paths that connect the whole South Shore, and the riverfront along Route 132. Pro: The REM on foot, Quartier DIX30, highways 10, 30 and 15, and the widest house choice on the South Shore. Con: The Champlain Bridge and highway 10 stay saturated at rush hour for those who do not take the REM. For those who want choice and transit: 320 homes listed in Q2, a new condo within walking distance of the REM, concentrated services.
Living in Brossard 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 Brossard: 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 choice and transit: 320 homes listed in Q2, a new condo within walking distance of the REM, concentrated services. Less so for those seeking century-old streets and mature trees: Brossard is a recent city, and its five-year price increase (+26 %) is the lowest on the South Shore precisely because new supply is abundant.
Without a car, yes. The guide names a metro, a REM or a train that serves Brossard: 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.
The REM links Brossard to downtown Montreal from the Brossard, Du Quartier and Panama stations, with park-and-ride lots. Highways 10 and 30 cross the territory, and Taschereau Boulevard runs through the city toward Longueuil.
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. A recent city without an old centre: few mature trees, boulevards and shopping centres rather than a main street.
