Rivière-Héva brings together wide-open lake country and day-to-day convenience. Along Route 117, residents tap into the jobs, shops, and festivals of Val-d'Or and Rouyn-Noranda, with Malartic close enough for a quick errand run. The result is a quiet address with real connectivity, where mornings begin with loons on Lac Héva and evenings end under northern stars.
Outdoor time drives the rhythm of life. Locals paddle at first light, cast for walleye and pike, and switch to fat bikes and snowmobiles once the trails set. Bigger weekend adventures await at Parc national d’Aiguebelle, where suspended footbridges, volcanic ridges, and wildlife viewing deliver the region’s signature wow.
Families appreciate access to francophone public schooling through the Centre de services scolaire de l’Or-et-des-Bois, with school transportation linking nearby communities such as Amos. Health care, larger retailers, and cultural venues cluster in Val‑d’Or, home to the regional hospital operated by the CISSS de l’Abitibi‑Témiscamingue. Add in four-season recreation programs, friendly local events, and straightforward highway access, and settling in feels refreshingly simple. Whether you’re planning your first home near the water or preparing to sell and move closer to work, Agent Pronto can match you with a proven real estate agent to guide the process from start to finish.
