New semi-detached home near Chambly

Chambly's housing stock is recent: according to the census, a third of its dwellings were built between 2006 and 2021. A move, in that case, has less to do with the age of your house than with its layout, the space your family needs and the time you want to win back. Here is what BÉAcité brings to the table.

A home finished right down to the lawn

On delivery, grading and complete landscaping are done, and the garage has a charging outlet for an electric vehicle. From then on, the upkeep is handled in full by an all-inclusive program; the representative will give you its details.

Tall, bright rooms

Nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, large windows in every room, a quartz kitchen counter, central air conditioning and central gas forced-air heating are all part of the package. The dining room can also be given a cathedral ceiling.

A neighbourhood you can walk

Vilamo devotes 600,000 sq ft to green space, more than 15% of its area, and lays out a promenade reserved for pedestrians, bikes and electric mobility. Medical services, the public market, restaurants, the pharmacy and the Caisse Desjardins are all within walking distance, and no home is more than 300 m from a bus stop.

From the municipal service centre on rue Martel, the OSRM routing engine measures 28.1 km and about 26 minutes without traffic via Route 112, Highway 30 and Highway 20. Skip the highways and go through Carignan and Saint-Basile-le-Grand, and the distance drops to 24.6 km, but it takes about 32 minutes. By bus, no route links the two towns directly: you need a transfer, at the Brossard terminus on weekdays. The turn-by-turn route and the model home visit:

Most of the new projects the Town of Chambly lists on its real estate development page are under way or yet to come, and many of them are apartment buildings. Buying new there often means signing off-plan. At BÉAcité, both routes are open: four finished homes can be toured right now, and some twenty others, cottages or bungalows, are still to be customized. The pros and cons of each approach:

Chambly is home, according to the town, to the only fort in the greater Montreal area, as well as the canal and its trail of more than 20 km to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Sainte-Julie offers a neighbourhood backing onto the Vallée-du-Richelieu golf club, with the ski slopes of Mont Saint-Bruno about ten minutes away. The two towns, similar in size, share the Centre de services scolaire des Patriotes and free local buses, but not the same regional county municipality. The side-by-side portrait:
