Open Houses in Valois, Pointe-Claire

Driving is very often the preferred transportation option in this part of the city. Many real estate listings are a very short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Autoroute du Souvenir, and parking is easy. On the other hand, commuting by transit can be at times challenging in Valois as a result of the infrequent service. Thankfully, train stations, such as the Gare Valois with access to the 11 - Vaudreuil/Hudson, are commonly close by from most houses in the neighbourhood. There are a few bus lines traversing the neighbourhood, and the closest bus stop is generally just around the corner. Travelling on foot is not very feasible for residents in Valois because carrying out daily needs is sometimes difficult by walking. This neighbourhood is also not particularly appropriate for cycling as Valois has a somewhat poor bicycling infrastructure. Nevertheless, there are a limited number of elevation changes.

A car is almost always required in this neighbourhood to access the closest grocery store. Nevertheless, it is generally a rather short distance to the nearest pharmacy, which can supply some staple foods. Residents of this part of the city are served by a few restaurants as well. As far as education is concerned, primary schools are convenient to get to on foot from most properties for sale in this neighbourhood. In contrast, families may consider it challenging for their schoolchildren to get to high schools as a pedestrian.

Valois offers a calm atmosphere and will appeal to home buyers who enjoy spending time in green spaces. This area is reasonably quiet, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue - although that is not the case around Autoroute du Souvenir or one of the railway lines.

There are a few green spaces close by for residents to visit, like Parc Venture and Parc Valois, and they are especially well-spread out, making them easy to get to.
