Saint-Laurent offers a great variety of green spaces to enjoy, despite its sometimes busy ambience. To be more specific, the majority of locations in the borough have fairly good access to green spaces, including Parc-Nature du Bois-de-Liesse, since there are over 100 of them close by for residents to check out. Despite the abundance of parks, the majority of streets have below average tree coverage. Lastly, this part of Montréal is relatively quiet, due to the presence of few pedestrians, although those who are around the airport (YUL), one of the railway lines, Autoroute Métropolitaine or Autoroute de la Côte-de-Liesse may experience higher levels of noise.

This borough did not experience a single building boom; the construction of new dwellings in Saint-Laurent was spread throughout several decades in recent history.
