Let's not kid ourselves, living in the city doesn't necessarily mean vast green spaces as far as the eye can see. Conversely, living deep in the woods (we're a bit extreme here) can mean isolation. And the middle ground is a location where rental projects are rare. But sometimes a few projects stand out and offer a lifestyle where these two worlds meet. That's all us!
Studies showing a direct link between time spent in nature or the mere presence of greenery in our environment and our overall well-being are numerous. A recent study published in December 2022 in Environmental Research, conducted by researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, confirmed the benefits of the 3-30-300 approach, according to which a person would benefit from seeing 3 trees from their residence, living in a neighbourhood where there is about 30% canopy cover, and residing within 300 meters of a park or forest.
With the numerous wooded areas in the neighbourhood, the green courtyard at the heart of the building, and Gatineau Park just steps away, the occupants of Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles will undoubtedly be spoiled at all levels!

While access to nature may seem difficult to combine with urban living in our big cities, Gatineau stands out. A dynamic, growing, and human-sized city that offers all the amenities of city life while connecting its residents to the vast green spaces of the Outaouais.
With over 365 parks, nearly 90% of which are developed, Gatineau residents of all ages can enjoy quality spaces, as well as access to numerous recreational and sports facilities to meet the needs and desires of everyone!
We're talking about over 300 kilometers of bike paths, 165 kilometers of hiking trails, 200 kilometers of groomed and marked cross-country ski trails, 4 rivers, and countless lakes and streams. That's a lot of outdoor activities for the future occupants of Mellem Manoir-des-Trembles!
A project where nature reigns
An ideal location at the gates of Gatineau Park and close to all city services
Quick access to the 200 kilometers of groomed cross-country ski trails in Gatineau Park
Not to mention Gatineau's extensive cycling and hiking network, spanning over 300 kilometers
Nature for all tastes, with the neighbourhood's golf courses.
And all this, without making any compromises on urban life and all its advantages. Restaurants, microbreweries, terraces, shows, entertainment, and festivals enliven the downtown area all year round throughout the seasons. Keep an eye on our social networks for our recommendations for activities and discoveries to make in this corner of Quebec where life is good.
With greenery as far as the eye can see, all that's missing is you to complete the picture! Discover all the details of this extraordinary project in Gatineau that will open its doors wide this fall, right here.
