The good reasons to live in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.
Living in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, the pros and cons. Pros: A suburban house with land, parks, schools in both systems and an active multicultural community. A price below Pointe-Claire and Beaconsfield, in the best-supplied house market on the island (502 listings). Cons: DDO is lived by car and bus, between the boulevards: no waterfront, no old village, no train on foot. A stock of 1960s-to-1980s bungalows and two-storey houses: roofs, windows and systems to update. For families who want a suburban house with a lot, parks, schools in both networks and an active multicultural community, at a price below Pointe-Claire and Beaconsfield. Less so for those who want the waterfront, an old village or a train on foot: DDO is lived by car and bus, between the boulevards.
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.
