Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about LaSalle, and a clear verdict: without a car, yes.
Living in LaSalle without a car. Verdict: Without a car, yes. Angrignon station, the green line terminus, is at the borough's northeast limit, with its bus terminus; the LaSalle station of the exo Candiac line serves the centre. The Parc des Rapides (birdwatching, Lachine Rapids) and the riverside path are LaSalle's signature; Parc Angrignon, at the limit, is one of the island's large parks; Parc Riverside and Parc Leroux complete the offer, with the Aquadôme as aquatic centre. Pro: The river and the rapids, Parc des Rapides, Angrignon metro, and a house or duplex under $750,000 on the island. Con: Functional and vast, built for the car: few walkable shopping streets, boulevards and shopping centres. For families who want a house or a duplex under $750,000 with the river, a metro and the highways; for a condo buyer looking for a view and choice (310 listings).
Living in LaSalle 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 LaSalle: 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 families who want a house or a duplex under $750,000 with the river, a metro and the highways; for a condo buyer looking for a view and choice (310 listings). Less so for those who want a neighbourhood shopping street on foot or old-world charm: LaSalle is functional and vast, at the scale of the car.
Without a car, yes. The guide names a metro, a REM or a train that serves LaSalle: 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.
Angrignon station, the green line terminus, is at the borough's northeast limit, with its bus terminus; the LaSalle station of the exo Candiac line serves the centre. Buses on Newman, LaSalle, Dollard and Shevchenko complete the network. Highway 20, the Turcot interchange and the Mercier Bridge (to the South Shore) are a few minutes away by car, which makes LaSalle a practical borough for anyone working on either side of the river.
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. Functional and vast, built for the car: few walkable shopping streets, boulevards and shopping centres.
