• Noise from the Saint-Hubert airport and rail lines depending on the street; check the flight corridor before offering.

• Few condos and rentals: for a first-time buyer or young household, supply is thin.
• The Saint-Bruno train has limited schedules; for most trips, it is the car.

Head to head, criterion by criterion

Our verdict

Saint-Hubert: For families who want a house with a yard below the regional median and a train to downtown. Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville: For established families and executives who want a green town, an old village, a mountain, a station and the highways, and who have the budget for an $800,000 house or more; for those working in Longueuil, Boucherville or Brossard.

The con that most often decides between the two. On one side, no pedestrian downtown: Saint-Hubert is lived by car and bike, between boulevards and shopping centres.
