Jonquière Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Jonquière is a very good borough to buy a house in for those who prefer a calm atmosphere. Jonquière is very quiet overall, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic.

Transportation

The favoured method to get around in this part of Saguenay is very often a car. It is very convenient to park, and nearby highways, such as Autoroute 70, are very easy to drive to from anywhere in Jonquière. On the other hand, Jonquière is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, there are about 20 bus lines, and bus stops are usually very close by. Many of the houses for sale in this part of Saguenay are located in places that are not particularly convenient for people who like to get around on foot as most daily needs are at times difficult to carry out without the use of a car. The bicycle is a somewhat poor means of transportation in Jonquière because the terrain is not particularly flat, and there are a limited number of bike lanes.

Housing

Homeowners occupy around two thirds of the properties in Jonquière and renters occupy the remainder. In this part of Saguenay, many dwellings are single detached homes, but small apartment buildings and duplexes are also present in the housing stock. About one third of properties in this borough were constructed between 1960 and 1980, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This part of Saguenay is primarily composed of two bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

A supermarket is generally accessible within a rather short walk from any location in Jonquière. Residents benefit from over 50 restaurants and coffee shops as well. As far as education is concerned, families will appreciate that wherever their property is situated in this part of the city, primary schools and daycares are nearby. However, high schools are not very numerous and accordingly not always within walking distance.
