Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Candiac offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Candiac with a family. French network: Centre de services scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries; English: Riverside. Parks and bike paths are built into every neighbourhood from the plan; the riverfront is next door in La Prairie; Square Candiac groups shops and services. The Candiac exo station (Candiac line) reaches Central Station; Highways 15 and 30 frame the city; the Champlain Bridge is about twenty kilometres away. Pro: A planned, well-kept city, a train station to downtown, parks and neighbourhood schools. Con: There is almost nothing under $400,000: the entry level is the condo, and it is rare. For families who want the coherence of a planned city, a train station and a well-kept setting, and who have the budget. Less so for those seeking an entry-level house: under $400,000 there is almost nothing (4.5 months of inventory, mostly condos).

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.
