Planned mobility
Living in Bois-Franc means to live in nature, but still close to the city, without the traffic jams on the bridge. Located in Montreal’s Saint-Laurent borough, the neighborhood is well-known for its central position in the metropolitan road network. Its placement allows, among other things, to enjoy privileged access to highways 13, 15 and 40.
The proximity of public transit, like that of the major employers in Technoparc Saint-Laurent, also allows many residents to travel car-free. The commuter train that connects Bois-Franc to downtown Montreal is a valued convenience to the community, as well as all the bus options that make it easy to get around different neighborhoods and surrounding cities. The bus network offers quick access to the Côte-Vertu metro station, the terminus of the orange line. Moreover, Bois-Franc benefits from several car-sharing service points.
As for the future, the upcoming arrival of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) is likely to increase the value of condos and townhouses in the area. This addition to the current network will make public transit more accessible than ever to Bois-Franc residents. In fact, it’s estimated that even during rush hour, the travel time between the Bois-Franc station and the central station will take no more than 16 minutes!
A charming design
While parks and green spaces were taken for granted before the pandemic, this was never the case in Bois-Franc. Since its beginnings, the project has devoted 31% of the land to the development of lakes and parks, sprinkled with playgrounds, fitness stations and outdoor furniture. In addition to its spacious parks and network of more than 47 km of bike paths and walking trails, you’ll find an abundance of small oases of greenery – squares and plazas where you can take a break, for example. Water retention basins are even installed to ensure that no raindrops are lost – everything is recycled to keep the spaces green.
In fact, Bois-Franc was thoughtfully designed to recreate a sense of being in nature while still living in the city. Along the streets, thousands of adult trees have been planted. This controlled and protected development lends to the neighborhood being a true green city – with the perks of city life. Streets were planned to eliminate transit traffic and reduce the speed of cars, while making it easier for residents to get around.
A local lifestyle
After 25 years of development, all the local businesses are already built and well established in Bois-Franc. The neighborhood’s offering is diversified and you’ll find it all: grocery store, bakery, pharmacy, daycare, health care, fitness center, school, restaurants and much more. Just take the elevator down and simply walk over through the extensive network of trails set in a dreamy landscape.
A comprehensive architectural servitude
Thanks to an exhaustive architectural servitude, the neighborhood’s buildings of the past coexist harmoniously with those of today. The colour of the architectural elements and the type of materials, for example, meet strict requirements. These standards aim above all to preserve the integrity of the project and protect the investment of every homeowner.
The Bois-Franc neighborhood brims with sought-after features – it’s hard to not fall for its charm. There are still a few condo and townhouse projects for buyers who want a new construction.
