Settling in Sherbrooke
Is Sherbrooke right for you?
Sherbrooke suits families, health professionals, students and retirees alike who want all services close at hand. Near the Magog and Saint-François rivers, it is wise to check whether the property is in a flood zone and to look into the history of the area. In the older downtown neighbourhoods, the age of the plumbing, electrical system and foundation deserves a careful inspection. In the rural parts of the Brompton–Rock Forest–Saint-Élie–Deauville borough, find out about the well and the septic system, if applicable.

Our favourite spot in Sherbrooke
