Living in Mirabel
North Suburbs
Mirabel is a paradox — a vast municipality (covering nearly 500 km²) built around an international airport that never fulfilled its promise, now one of Quebec's most important aerospace and logistics hubs. The residential areas are spread across a semi-rural landscape with large lots, lower prices, and an industrial employment base.
