Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Mascouche offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Mascouche with a family. The city falls under the Centre de services scolaire des Affluents and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board; the Cégep régional de Lanaudière is in Terrebonne. Grand-Coteau park (trails, cross-country skiing, sledding) and the Domaine seigneurial are the large spaces; neighbourhood parks, the aquatic complex and the arenas complete the offer. Mascouche station is the terminus of the exo Mascouche line to Central Station; exo Terrebonne-Mascouche buses reach Montmorency metro in Laval. Pro: A recent house under $650,000, the Mascouche train, highway 25 and a city built since 2000. Con: Little charm or village life: a new city lived by car, with little choice (109 listings). For young families who want a recent house under $650,000, the train and Highway 25, in a city that built everything since 2000; for those working in Laval or Montreal East. Less so for those seeking character, dense village life or choice: Mascouche is new, fast, and you must offer within 48 hours.

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.
