Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Pierrefonds-Roxboro offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Pierrefonds-Roxboro with a family. The borough falls under the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys and the Lester B. The Cap-Saint-Jacques nature park (beach, farm, trails, sugar shack), the Bois-de-Liesse nature park and the Anse-à-l'Orme nature park are the three large spaces; Parc Grier, Parc Roxboro and the boulevard Gouin path complete the offer, with the cultural centre and the Sportplexe Pierrefonds. The REM serves Sunnybrooke and Roxboro-Pierrefonds (Deux-Montagnes branch, opened in the fall of 2025), with downtown without a transfer; buses on Pierrefonds, Saint-Jean, Saint-Charles and Gouin reach the REM and the Fairview terminus (Pointe-Claire). Pro: A suburban house with land on the island, nature parks, the river, and the REM to downtown. Con: Lived by car: no walkable shopping street, boulevards and shopping centres. For families who want a suburban house with a lot, nature parks, a river and, since 2025, a direct REM downtown; for anglophones and newcomers looking for a bilingual neighbourhood. Less so for those who want urban life, a shopping street on foot or a condo in the heart of the action: Pierrefonds is lived by car and by the water.
Pierrefonds-Roxboro for a family: what really matters, schools, parks, commutes, space and price, taken from our neighbourhood guide and from what families tell us after the visits. The figures are those published by the APCIQ for the second quarter of 2026; nothing is embellished.
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.
