Beaconsfield Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Beaconsfield is a very good city to buy a home in for those who prefer a relaxed ambience. There is a fair amount of greenery in this part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area as a lot of streets have reasonably good tree coverage. It is easy to reach parks from the majority of locations in the city since there are over 50 of them close by for residents to check out. This part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area is very quiet overall, as there are generally low levels of noise from traffic.

Transportation

The favoured transportation option in Beaconsfield is very often a car. Nearby highways, such as Autoroute du Souvenir, are very easy to drive to from any home in Beaconsfield, and it is straightforward to park. On the other hand, the public transit system in Beaconsfield is fairly poor. Nonetheless, train stations, such as the Gare Beaurepaire, Gare Cedar Park and Gare Beaconsfield with access to the 11 - Vaudreuil/Hudson, are not especially far-removed from the greater part of properties in the city. The city is linked by approximately 10 bus lines, and bus stops are usually around the corner. Beaconsfield is not especially bicycling-friendly because the cycling network is not very well-developed. Thankfully, there are a limited number of hills for cyclists to brave. This city is also not very convenient for those who like to get around on foot because common amenities such as banks or hair salons can be an occasionally long stroll away.

Housing

Beaconsfield experienced its largest construction boom between 1960 and 1980, so most of the available properties are from this time period. The large proportion of single detached homes in the housing stock of this city is an important part of its character. Homeowners occupy nearly 95% of the dwellings in the city while renters occupy the remainder. This city is notable for those looking for four or more bedroom homes.

Services

In the majority of cases, a vehicle is needed to buy groceries in one of about 10 stores. Nevertheless, it is generally a rather short distance to the nearest pharmacy, which can supply some staple foods. There are also a few opportunities for those who care about nearby restaurants. With respect to education, parents and their kids will find that no matter where their home is located in this city, both primary and secondary schools are close by. However, daycares are not especially plentiful and consequently not always within a short distance.
