A market shaped by the station and the farmland
More than 80% of the territory is in the permanent agricultural zone. Residential development is concentrated in the urban perimeter, where most homes date from the 1970s to the 1990s.
The central district, the village core, is made up mostly of single-family homes built before 1980.
The station district has direct access to the train on the exo Mont-Saint-Hilaire line.
Domaine du Lac, launched in 1993, Domaine Trinité and Boisé du Golf are the more recent developments.
Mont-Saint-Bruno National Park touches the city limits, with an access point on rang des Vingt.
