Transportation
Driving is a great means of transportation in Lakeshore. It is a short drive to the closest highway, such as Autoroute du Souvenir, from any location in this area, and it is especially convenient to park. However, Lakeshore is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, residents have access to a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most homes. This neighbourhood is not very conducive to biking because the bicycling infrastructure is fairly poor, and bicycle riders encounter quite a few hills. A majority of the homes for sale in this part of the city are located in areas that are also not very well-suited for those who travel by foot as common errands are inconvenient to run without needing to resort to a vehicle.
Services
The closest supermarket in Lakeshore is generally only a reasonably short walk away. There are also a few options for those who value nearby restaurants. With respect to education, in this part of the city, families will typically be able to get to both primary and secondary schools by walking. However, there are only a limited number of daycares and accordingly they can be a rather long walk away.
