Sainte-Catherine Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Home buyers who prefer a relaxed environment will enjoy Sainte-Catherine. This city is very quiet, as the streets tend to be very tranquil. Lastly, greenery is not especially prominent in this part of the Greater Montreal metropolitan area; more specifically, residents will find that the tree canopy coverage for most streets is sub-par. However, most locations within the city have fairly good access to parks, including Refuge d'oiseaux migrateurs de l'Île-aux-Hérons and Parc André-J.-Côté, since there are over 50 of them close by for residents to unwind in.

Transportation

Sainte-Catherine is especially car friendly. Accessing a place to park is easy, and nearby highways, such as Autoroute 730, are very easy to drive to from any home in Sainte-Catherine. However, the public transit service in this city is not very frequent. Nevertheless, homeowners profit from the Gare Saint-Constant and Gare Sainte-Catherine on the 14 - Candiac. Residents have access to about 30 bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is typically around the corner. The bike is a fairly good mode of transportation in Sainte-Catherine since the bicycling infrastructure is moderately extensive, and there are a limited number of hills for cyclists to brave. It is at times difficult for people travelling by foot to get around in this city because running daily errands is occasionally challenging without a vehicle.

Housing

In Sainte-Catherine, many dwellings are single detached homes, while small apartment buildings are the main alternative in the housing stock.

This part of Roussillon offers mainly two bedroom and three bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy about three quarters of the units in Sainte-Catherine while the rest are rented.
