The West Island has always been known as the place to raise a family and the place to explore the suburbian lifestyle. But did we ever really ask ourselves why? As other parts of town are expanding, diving deeper into the world of the West may just make us value and appreciate it all the more.
SCHOOLS
A variety of schools are sectioned off in between neighborhoods, ranging from private to public facilities. Even schools with special programs are available.
SERVICES
Main boulevards are flooded with shops and services, making residents feel as though they can get all their errands done within a timely fashion.
ACTIVITIES
Neighborhoods are alive with activities for families to enjoy, especially with certain days in the summer devoted to bring the community together. Not only can the little one join a league, but adults alike have their pick of yacht and golf clubs.
Waterfront edges have also adapted; watch the sun set in a restaurant by the water or enjoy the farmer’s market on the
weekend!
COMMUNITY
A sense of community is important for most, as they can engage in volunteering or neighborhood events. Online forums are also available to bring everyone together and to keep everyone “in-the-know”.
PARKS
Getting outdoors is important to most and now with technology taking over and the hectic demands of our everyday lives, we want to perhaps take advantage of the basics. Beautiful nature parks are a great example of this, along with children’s parks that have now incorporated “splash pads” for the summer time! Enjoy time with yourself and or family/friends!
SHOPPING
The West Island is host to a large indoor mall, Fairview Pointe-Claire. Major consumer stores are also available on main boulevards, along with independent stores clients can discover.
GYMS
The ever growing need to stay healthy and fit is something that will always be around. We tend to find a variety of different gyms, classes and courses around the West Island to fuel different passions & interests. Whether you are looking for a relaxed feel with something like yoga or want to perfect a technique in martial arts, there is a place for you to join!
