The neighbourhood is linked by about 20 bus lines, and most houses are very close to a bus stop. Rivière-des-Prairies is not especially cycling-friendly as there are a limited number of bike lanes, and the topography is not particularly flat. Many of the houses for sale in this part of Montréal are located in areas that are also not particularly convenient for walking because most day-to-day needs are occasionally challenging to meet on foot.
