Transportation

A majority of the houses for sale in this city are located in areas that are moderately suitable for those who prefer to travel on foot, although meeting daily needs is sometimes challenging without a vehicle. In contrast, Alma is not particularly suited for bicycling as the cycling infrastructure is rather limited, and cyclists are faced with quite a few slopes.

Housing

Roughly one third of properties in Alma were constructed between 1960 and 1980, while the majority of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s. Single detached homes are the most common housing type, representing many dwellings in this part of Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, while the remainder are mainly small apartment buildings and duplexes. Homeowners occupy roughly two thirds of the dwellings in Alma and one third are rented. This city is primarily composed of two bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

Families will appreciate the proximity to primary schools and daycares, which are within walking distance from the majority of houses for sale in Alma. However, high schools are not particularly plentiful and thus tend to require a rather long stroll to get to. When it comes to food, home buyers in this city will be pleased to learn that a grocery store is always only a short walk away. A small variety of restaurants and coffee shops is available as well.
