Joliette County blends small-city convenience with open-country breathing room, anchored by the riverfront core of Joliette and surrounded by welcoming communities like Saint-Charles-Borromée, Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, Crabtree, and Saint-Thomas. Commuters value quick connections along Autoroute 31 and 40 to Montreal, while residents enjoy day-to-day ease with local shops, riverfront parks, and a lively calendar of events organized by the Ville de Joliette. The region’s administrative backbone, the MRC de Joliette, supports balanced growth and services that make moving and settling straightforward.
Culture and outdoor life stand tall here. The acclaimed Musée d’art de Joliette anchors the arts scene, while the renowned Festival de Lanaudière draws world-class performers each summer. Year-round shows fill the Centre culturel Desjardins, and trails along the L’Assomption River invite cycling, jogging, and quiet evening strolls. For bigger nature days, you’re a short drive from waterfalls, lookouts, and forest paths across the Lanaudière heartland.
Families appreciate strong schools through the Cégep régional de Lanaudière à Joliette and broad public programs, plus reliable care at the CISSS de Lanaudière. Daily needs are covered, from specialty grocers to the regional Galeries Joliette.
