When the time comes to buy a new home, the neighbourhood plays a crucial role in the decision. Not only do you have to love what the house offers in terms of look and layout, but you also have to feel at ease in the neighbourhood and picture yourself living there for many years. To help you tour the area and discover its advantages, Groupe PM is offering you a little guided visit of the neighbourhood of its new residential project, Le Natura.
The town of Bois-des-Filion
The Le Natura residential project will be located in Bois-des-Filion, on Montreal’s North Shore. The town, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, sits close to Highways 19 and 640 and Route 335, giving it an enviable position for access by car and public transit. Bois-des-Filion residents enjoy many essential services and attractive amenities. The town has several daycares and early childhood centres, as well as elementary and high schools. The selection of restaurants and friendly little cafés is also very appealing, while shopping centres, grocery stores and pharmacies can be found in several spots across the territory.
In summer, you can head to the town’s municipal pools, while in winter, Place du Millénaire lets you slide and skate on its large ice rink: a great way to enjoy the cold season! Bois-des-Filion is a town where life is good, with several events organized throughout the year. Just think of the festivities surrounding Quebec’s Fête nationale, the outdoor cinema at Place du Millénaire with free movie screenings, the Family Day, the annual September gathering for young and old at the magnificent Riverain park along the Rivière des Mille Îles, the Journées de la Culture, or the Marché aux trouvailles, where citizens are invited to take part in a big community garage sale and give a second life to items they no longer use. A host of similar activities are offered during the year to make sure there is something for everyone. No wonder more than 2,200 families have chosen to settle in Bois-des-Filion.
The Le Natura neighbourhood
Bois-des-Filion has nothing to envy of its neighbouring towns, and neither does the neighbourhood where the Le Natura project will rise. Your home, built with high-quality materials, will feature 9-ft ceilings, hardwood floors, a single garage and a sodded lot. Le Natura is 40 semi-detached homes in a new, sought-after sector of the town, the Plateau Natura. With the feel of a private domain, the project will give you the impression of living surrounded by nature, yet just minutes from all essential services. The more athletic members of the family will be delighted to learn that the huge Guy-Charbonneau park, with its many hiking trails, is only a few minutes from the neighbourhood. The town’s superb network of bike paths also connects to the Parc linéaire du P’tit Train du Nord and the Trans Terrebonne circuit, letting you cycle not only through Bois-des-Filion but also the surrounding areas. And thanks to the Trans Terrebonne circuit, winter sports are covered too, with snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and fatbiking.
