Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts balances small-town ease with big-nature energy, framed by Lac des Sables where sandy beaches, a marina, and waterfront paths keep residents outside from spring through fall. Cultural life hums at Théâtre Le Patriote, a storied venue hosting touring acts and local productions, while the Parc linéaire Le P’tit Train du Nord invites cycling in summer and cross-country skiing in winter. Just over an hour from Montreal and an easy hop to Mont-Tremblant, it’s a smart base for exploring the wider Laurentides.
Families find strong services and schooling. The municipality’s programs and events calendar, published by the Ville de Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, keeps the community connected year-round. Education options include the English-language Sainte Agathe Academy (K–11) and French public schools served by the Centre de services scolaire des Laurentides. Healthcare is anchored by the Hôpital de Sainte‑Agathe‑des‑Monts, a regional facility offering emergency and specialty care close to home.
Outdoor enthusiasts can spend Saturdays paddling the lake, hiking nearby ridgelines, or catching a show at night. Dining along rue Principale mixes cozy cafés with destination restaurants, and seasonal festivals animate the core, from waterfront concerts to winter carnivals. With housing that ranges from century homes to modern condos and wooded chalets, residents can choose lake views, village convenience, or quiet side streets without sacrificing access to services.
