Bordeaux Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Bordeaux is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the ambience of this part of the city. Even though the atmosphere is not the liveliest in this area, its busier streets are still quite dynamic, and with the bars in nearby neighbourhoods, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located very close by. Bordeaux is quiet overall, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue, although there are still several noisier sections, especially around Autoroute des Laurentides, the airport (Héliport de Montréal (Sacré-Coeur)) or the railway line. This part of the city also features a fair amount of greenery as a large number of streets have good tree coverage. Parks, such as Parc Bernard-Landry and Parc Saint-Laurent, are especially well-situated and there are around 40 of them close by for residents to relax in, which results in them being very easy to access from the majority of locations in Bordeaux.

Transportation

This part of the city offers property owners several alternative means of transportation. Bordeaux is moderately transit friendly as a consequence of Gare Bois-de-Boulogne on the 12 - Saint-Jérôme, and about 10 nearby bus lines. Bordeaux is also a fairly pleasant part of Montréal for pedestrians; most day-to-day needs are easy to meet without a vehicle, and a good number of businesses of different types can be found as well. It is convenient to travel by bicycle in this area because the cycling network is fairly good, and there are a limited number of hills.

Housing

Small apartment buildings are the main housing type, representing most dwellings in Bordeaux, but duplexes and single detached homes are also present in the housing stock. This part of Montréal has a good variety of housing size options, ranging from lofts to four or more bedrooms. Around 55% of the population of this neighbourhood rent their home whereas the remainder are owners. The homes in this neighbourhood are quite old, because about half of its dwellings were built in the 1960s and 1970s, while the majority of the remaining buildings were constructed pre-1960.

Services

Parents and their children will value that no matter where their home is situated in Bordeaux, daycares and schools are close by. With regards to food, it is very often possible for property owners in Bordeaux to do their groceries on foot. In addition, there are a fair number of options for those who appreciate nearby restaurants and cafes. It is also a rather short distance to a reasonable choice of clothing stores.
