- Access to waterfront living and nature parks
- Quiet residential streets with mature trees
- Strong community and family-focused environment
Pierrefonds-Roxboro is the largest community on the West Island and one of the most genuinely undervalued. With over 70,000 residents, it operates at a scale that allows for a full range of housing options — from entry-level condos and townhomes to large detached waterfront homes along the Rivière des Prairies. That range is one of its greatest strengths: Pierrefonds-Roxboro serves buyers at every stage of homeownership, from the first-time buyer entering the market to the growing family looking to upsize without leaving the island.
What sets Pierrefonds-Roxboro apart from a lifestyle standpoint is its access to nature. Cap-Saint-Jacques Nature Park — one of the largest urban nature parks in North America — sits within the borough. Waterfront walking paths, cycling trails, and green corridors along the Rivière des Prairies give residents an outdoor lifestyle that’s essentially impossible to find anywhere else on the island at these price points. For buyers who value space and nature over prestige addresses, Pierrefonds-Roxboro consistently delivers more square footage, more land, and more green space per dollar than any comparable West Island community.
From a market value standpoint, Pierrefonds-Roxboro has historically been one of the best value propositions in the West Island — offering real estate at price points below Beaconsfield, Pointe-Claire, and Kirkland while offering more living space and lot size. REM access and Highway 40/13 connections keep commute times competitive, and the borough’s diverse, multicultural community — with 47% English, 27% French, and 26% other languages — reflects the broader Montréal that many buyers are looking for. For sellers, the broad buyer pool means well-presented, well-priced properties consistently find strong interest.
