Living · Without a car · Saint-Lambert · October 13, 2026
Metro, train, bus, bike, on foot: what the guide says about Saint-Lambert, and a clear verdict: without a car, yes.
Living in Saint-Lambert without a car. Verdict: Without a car, yes. The Saint-Lambert exo station links to Central Station; the Victoria Bridge and Route 132 lead to Montreal; Brossard's REM is minutes away. The Seaway park runs along the river; neighbourhood parks and sports fields are numerous for the city's size; the bike path connects to Longueuil and Brossard. Pro: A village with mature trees, a train station ten minutes from downtown, reputed schools and the river. Con: The entry price is high and there is no new construction: you buy a pre-1960 stock, to maintain, often without a double garage. For those who want a village, mature trees and a train station, and accept a house that needs upkeep.
Living in Saint-Lambert 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 Saint-Lambert: 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 those who want a village, mature trees and a train station, and accept a house that needs upkeep. Less so for those who want new construction or a double garage: Saint-Lambert lives in pre-1960 housing, and the entry price is high.
Without a car, yes. The guide names a metro, a REM or a train that serves Saint-Lambert: 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.
The Saint-Lambert exo station links to Central Station; the Victoria Bridge and Route 132 lead to Montreal; Brossard's REM is minutes away.
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. The entry price is high and there is no new construction: you buy a pre-1960 stock, to maintain, often without a double garage.
