Buying a condo on the West Island: a smart choice
Did you know that the West Island features some of the largest green spaces along the Rivière des Prairies, and is nestled between Lac Saint-Louis and Lac des Deux-Montagnes? While offering a lifestyle that’s close to nature, the area also boasts diverse and colourful urban life with trendy shops, numerous restaurants, shopping centres and a host of cultural and recreational activities. In a time when buyers are looking for both quality of life and larger condos, buying a condo in West Island is definitely a smart choice!
Live close to nature
Are you a fan of outdoor sports, or you just want to reconnect with nature? West Island is ideally located to take advantage of the most beautiful green spaces in the Greater Montréal area. Here you can enjoy stunning views overlooking the Rivière des Prairies, Lac Saint-Louis and Lac des Deux-Montagnes.
Cyclists will love the gorgeous “The West Island Heritage Trail” a 70-kilometre route through all the West Island Communities. The route was specially designed by the Société du patrimoine de l’Ouest-de-l’Île to combine local history and architecture with the natural beauty of the landscape.
With many developed parks to discover, the West Island is guaranteed to delight nature lovers all year round. Near to the Baldwin Condos & Penthouses project is the popular Centennial Park, which offers hiking and cross-country skiing trails, pet-friendly areas, and picnic and barbecue areas. If you feel like exploring the edge of the island, head to Cap-Saint-Jacques, the largest park in Montreal. There you’ll find a sugar shack, two heated cabins, an ecological farm and a swimming beach, as well as hiking, biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails.
Rich and diverse urban life
West Island offers an incredible range of commercial options. There’s good reason so many Montrealers visit every weekend. Along with major shopping centres like Fairview Pointe-Claire and Galeries des Sources, the area also features a Costco, an Ikea and a Cinema Guzzo. And of course, there’s also the iconic Marché de l’Ouest, home to a range of shops specializing in produce, cold cuts, meat, seafood, local and international cheeses, teas, breads and pastries.
A mouth-watering selection of restaurants
Are you a gourmet at heart? West Island is full of restaurants to discover! A few of the top names include 3 Soeurs, which specializes in salads and cooked meals, including a number of vegan options. For mouth-watering guacamole, tacos, burritos and fajitas, take your taste buds on a trip with Barrio 14’s authentic Mexican cuisine. Or maybe you’d like to visit New Orleans by sampling Bistro Nolah’s jambalaya and fried chicken? For classic Italian dishes, head to Riccardos, a restaurant whose reputation has been steadily growing since 2001. And if you’re craving French cuisine, Bistro 1843’s historic building in Île-Bizard is ready to welcome you.
Transportation made easy
If you work in downtown Montreal, location is essential to minimize the time you spend commuting. The West Island is once again a smart choice: the area is well served by public transportation and offers easy access to major roads.
The Baldwin Condos & Penthouses project, for instance, is close to the future REM station. By as early as 2024, the station will connect the area to downtown Montreal in less than 25 minutes. In the meantime, the Roxboro-Pierrefonds commuter train station can get you downtown in only 26 minutes. If you’d rather be behind the wheel, Highway 40 and Saint-Jean Boulevard are close to the project.
Choosing Baldwin Condos & Penthouses
Featuring the largest units available on the market in the area, the Baldwin Condos & Penthouses residential project also offers exceptional common areas and a prime location in the heart of Dollard-des-Ormeaux. Since it’s close to recreational areas and natural spaces, major public transportation and highways, and a wealth of stores and restaurants, choosing Baldwin Condos & Penthouses means you get the best of the suburbs without compromising!
