Howick blends small-village ease with river-valley scenery, set along the Châteauguay River in the heart of the Le Haut-Saint-Laurent. Encircled by the rural municipality of Très-Saint-Sacrement, the village has a compact core where you’ll find everyday conveniences, friendly cafés, and community events that make meeting neighbors effortless. Commuters appreciate straightforward drives to Châteauguay and Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, while weekends invite fishing, paddling, and bike rides that start practically from your doorstep.
Families are well served by Howick Elementary School under the New Frontiers School Board, known for close-knit classrooms, caring staff, and a network of engaging programs across the region. Daily life is supported by regional healthcare at Barrie Memorial Hospital, and transit connections via Exo make it easier to reach employment and services across the Montérégie.
Outdoor lovers can roll onto the Route verte cycling network, explore riverbank trails, or plan a day trip to the Lac-Saint-François National Wildlife Area for birdwatching. Agricultural roots shine through seasonal farm stands and the region’s marquee fair, Expo Ormstown, celebrating everything from 4-H to local artisans. Whether you’re seeking a first home, trading up for more space, or simplifying your lifestyle, Howick offers a relaxed pace without losing access to big-city amenities nearby.
