Laval-Ouest

Laval-Ouest is a neighborhood in the city of Laval, Quebec. Until the municipal mergers on August 6, 1965, it was an independent city.

The Laval-Ouest district, which is bordered by Fabreville, Sainte-Dorothée, Laval-sur-le-Lac, and, of course, the Rivière des Mille Îles, provides you the benefits of living in a mid-city / mid-nature environment and putting you close to services and natural areas where you can engage in a variety of sports anytime of the year.

The Rivière des Mille Îles and the Rivière des Prairies merge in Laval-Ouest, providing an outstanding natural environment. The view from the Berge aux Quatre-Vents overlooking the Rivière des Mille Îles is breathtaking.

The city of Laval-Ouest had a population of 11369 people in 2011. At least 5875 people said they were bilingual in both French and English.

Despite growing costs due to the heated real estate market, properties are still reasonable, making this the ideal area for a first home. The real estate makeup of Laval-Ouest is also unique.

Additionally, social diversity is prioritized, which obviously benefits the sector. All we have to do is keep track of all the new cafes, restaurants and companies that keep appearing. Without a doubt, Laval-Ouest has a very bright future!
