Characteristics

Transportation

The favoured way to get around in Saint-Michel is usually driving. It is convenient to find a place to park, and most real estate listings are a rather short car ride from the closest highway, such as Autoroute Félix-Leclerc. In contrast, the public transit network in this part of the city is rather poor. Nevertheless, homeowners benefit from approximately 30 bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. Saint-Michel is not particularly bike-friendly as the bicycling infrastructure is not particularly extensive, and the area is not especially flat. Getting around on foot is also not particularly practical for residents in this part of the city since few common errands can be run without the use of a vehicle.
