The Vibe

You’ll find most people on their way to or from the swanky golf club, as well as many cyclists enjoying the bike path on the perimeter of the neighbourhood. Area residents enjoy the quiet streets.
Meet the Neighbours

The area is known to be very affluent – one of the wealthiest is Laval – so you will mainly find high earning professionals in their late forties or professional athletes with families. There are also quite a few empty nesters.

The Good, the Bad & the Rest
Laval-sur-le-Lac is a great and quiet place to raise a family and enjoy the lay of your own land, and to spend time at home. You can also enjoy a few rounds of golf on one of Canada’s best terrains. While it’s a good neighbourhood to raise children in, there are few public parks and schools. In terms of activities and dining, the area is pretty bare.
Dollars & Sense
Houses in this area are usually large and have lots of land. Living in this area can be quite expensive, as houses here are priced well above average for the Montreal area, as well as in Quebec. Membership at the private golf club will cost you a pretty penny (several, in fact).
