At Century 21 Estrie, our commitment goes far beyond the real estate realm; we are passionate ambassadors of the Eastern Townships and the unique features of their various cities and villages. Choosing a city or neighborhood is a crucial matter. Unlike renovating a kitchen or making modifications to a house, the environment cannot be changed. In this newsletter, let us introduce you to the charms and surrounding treasures of Magog.

Magog embodies the joy of living, the resort lifestyle, and the festive atmosphere that attracts an increasing number of visitors for a multitude of reasons. Nestled near the prestigious Lake Memphremagog, framed by two ski resorts accessible in less than 30 minutes, and adorned with a lively downtown area, Magog offers a captivating blend of adventure and charm. Moreover, its privileged geographical location just 30 minutes from Sherbrooke, an hour from Montreal, and half an hour from the American border makes it an ideal destination to settle permanently or escape for a weekend. Here’s an overview of some of the neighbourhoods our Century 21 Estrie brokers particularly cherish.

Southière-sur-le-lac Sector

For lake and mountain enthusiasts, those who enjoy quick access to activities, the Southière-sur-le-lac sector is the ideal place. Stretching from Chemin de la Plage des Cantons to Chemin des Pères, this area is prized for its tranquility and proximity to Lake Memphremagog as well as the majestic mountains such as Mount Owl’s Head and Mount Orford. Less than 5 minutes from Highway 10, this sector is easily accessible without encountering traffic. This area is also bordered by a bike path that will take you to downtown, the Marais de la Rivière-aux-Cerises, and even the Montessori school with just a few pedal strokes!

Downtown Sector

Downtown is where most essential services converge, including restaurants, shops, cafes, schools, and several parks. The beauty of this neighborhood lies in its vibrant and lively atmosphere year-round. Its proximity offers residents a more urban living environment where you can shop on foot. In summer, many leave their cars in the garage because everything they need is within reach. Whether it’s for weekly shopping or accompanying children to school, everything is within a short distance or less than a 5-minute drive away.

Furthermore, the proximity to the magnificent Lake Memphremagog and the other end of the Marais de la Rivière-aux-Cerises adds to the attractiveness of this neighbourhood.

Hermitage-Snug Harbour-Villas-de-l’Anse Sector

This nestled sector, located on the shores of Lake Memphremagog, attracts many residents seeking tranquility while offering enviable proximity to the bustling downtown and majestic Lake Memphremagog. Extending to Georgeville, where the renowned Auberge McGowan with its exquisite cuisine is located, this area is home to sought-after neighbourhoods such as Villas-de-l’Anse, l’Hermitage, and Brook Cove.

Residents of this sector appreciate not only its proximity to downtown but also the tranquility it offers. These different areas have their own particularities, ranging from marinas to tennis courts, trails, and pools. They all share superb beaches on Lake Memphremagog where you can regularly admire the sunsets.

Arena Sector

Here is a sector of Magog perfect for families. The Magog Arena is adjacent to Parc de l’Est where soccer fields, baseball fields, and the bike path will delight sports enthusiasts of all kinds. This sector has greatly developed in recent years, and it is in this sector that we find the renowned Pie X elementary school, a particularly interesting option for young families whose children will start elementary school.

Furthermore, this neighbourhood benefits from proximity to various services, including the Tisserands district where the Magog library is located. Easy access to Highway 55 is also appreciated. This combination of amenities and accessibility makes it an attractive choice for those seeking a balance between family neighborhood life and nearby urban and sports amenities.

Overall, what Century 21 Estrie loves most about Magog is that each sector is very family-friendly, warm, and safe. Offering numerous opportunities for families and their children, regardless of their age, but also offering a living environment that is hard to match for retirement or a pied-à-terre in the Eastern Townships.
