Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about Île-Perrot, Pincourt and Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, and a clear verdict: with a single car.

Living on Île-Perrot, Pincourt and Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot without a car. Verdict: With a single car. Two exo Vaudreuil-Hudson line stations, Pincourt–Terrasse-Vaudreuil and Île-Perrot, lead to Central Station; exo La Presqu'Île buses reach Vaudreuil and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. Pointe-du-Moulin (historic park, windmills, trails on Lac Saint-Louis), the riverside parks and Pincourt's beach, Pincourt's Parc Bellevue are the large spaces; the arenas, the pools and the marina complete the offer. Pro: Water on every side, two train stations, the West Island one bridge away, and a price below Pointe-Claire and Beaconsfield. Con: The island is lived by car: a single bridge to the West Island, saturated at rush hour, and a train with limited schedules. For bilingual families who want the water, two stations and the West Island one bridge away, at a price below Pointe-Claire and Beaconsfield; for those seeking a waterfront property with time to negotiate.

Living on Île-Perrot, Pincourt and Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot 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.

Verdict: With a single car

The guide names the bus, or a train that neighbourhood life is not enough to replace: a household lives here with a single car, not without one.

What works for Île-Perrot, Pincourt and Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot

What you have to accept

Our rule, written out in full

"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.

Who it is for

For bilingual families who want the water, two stations and the West Island one bridge away, at a price below Pointe-Claire and Beaconsfield; for those seeking a waterfront property with time to negotiate. Less so for those who want a dense town or a condo that resells fast: the island is lived by car and condos take more than two months.

What should you check before giving up the car on Île-Perrot, Pincourt and Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot?

The island is lived by car: a single bridge to the West Island, saturated at rush hour, and a train with limited schedules.
