Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the best method to get around in this part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area. Many homes for sale are a short car ride from the closest highway, such as Autoroute Félix-Leclerc, and it is easy to come across a parking spot. In contrast, public transit riders may experience few choices in Pointe-Claire by reason of the low service level. Thankfully, house owners are served by the Gare Pine Beach, Gare Beaconsfield and Gare Valois on the 11 - Vaudreuil/Hudson. Residents benefit from about 30 bus lines, and it is especially convenient to reach a nearby bus stop from most houses. Traveling as a pedestrian is not very common in this part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area, although most day-to-day needs are easy to carry out without a vehicle. In contrast, Pointe-Claire is fairly suited for biking since bicycle riders do not encounter significant elevation changes.
