Transportation

The favoured way to get around in Lochaber is very often a car. It is a very short drive to the closest highway, such as Autoroute de l'Outaouais, from anywhere in this township, and it is very convenient to access a place to park. Despite the fact that bicycling is more practical in certain areas than others, and a fair number of families choose to travel by bicycle, the bike is a rather limited means of transportation in this township because there is a considerable amount of slopes, and the cycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive. It is also very challenging for pedestrians to navigate this township because almost no daily errands can be run without a vehicle.

Housing

Around 85% of the dwellings in the township are occupied by homeowners and 15% are occupied by renters. Single detached homes are the predominant housing type, representing almost all dwellings in this part of Papineau, whereas the rest are mainly duplexes. Roughly 40% of properties in this township were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, while the majority of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This township offers mainly four or more bedroom and three bedroom homes.

Services

It is very rarely feasible for home buyers in Lochaber to do their groceries as pedestrians. There are also a few options for those who appreciate restaurants within walking distance. With respect to education, there are only a very small number of high schools in Lochaber and consequently they can be a very long stroll away. Likewise, this township does not have any primary schools. In addition, families may consider it very difficult to get to daycares by foot.
