Where should I buy? |

Bell Centre |
Here's are areas that will rise in value as a result of their proximity to transportation, increasingly important as authorities keep discouraging driving in the city.
1-Bell Centre complex Being able to stroll the underground city and on the metro without going outside might seem
Waydowntown-ish but the outdoors are damnably cold here. Those condos also in close proximity to intercity buses and trains from Windsor Station.
There's a good chance that you work nearby as well.
2-Mascouche n
ear the train station. Sure it's a 62-minute train ride but
|
Mascouche is cheap |
a condo nearby still costs just
$140,000. It's the last stop on the Train de l'Est so you'll always get a seat on the way downtown in the morning. The Mascouche Airport is also nearby to help with your future flying car needs.

Ste. Anne's - awesomeness |
3-Ste. Anne de Bellevue: The Train de l'Ouest looks like it will
finally be happening and the end of the line is set to be in Ste. Anne's, so you get the same train-seat advantage in the civilized west island, which is a great springboard to points west, including the fast-growing Vaudreuil. (There's still some buzz that the future train will loop through the Turcot Yards, Lachine and then up Sources but the same money is against that plan.)
4-Vendome: Train, metro, highway. Superhospital. Wait until the roadwork is done though.
Well damn now I have to watch Waydowntown. Seems interesting.
ReplyDeletePerhaps in 50 years or so the island and its adjacent suburbs will be completely linked up with fully-extended Metro and rail lines serving every remaining community, just as is London, for example.
