Settling in Prévost
Is Prévost right for you?
Prévost suits families and outdoor enthusiasts who want a natural setting while working in the North Shore or in Saint-Jérôme. The city has three separate water systems (Domaine Laurentien and Clos-Prévostois, Lac-Écho, and Prévost-Lesage-Shawbridge); elsewhere, the well and septic system need to be inspected. Near the rivière du Nord or a lake, check the flood zone mapping and the shoreline protection rules. Noise from Highway 15 and Route 117 should also be checked depending on the location.
