Granby is a city of about 69,000 residents in the MRC de La Haute-Yamaska, in the Estrie administrative region and the Eastern Townships tourist region.<\/strong> About 1 hour 10 minutes from Montreal via Highway 10 and 1 hour 15 minutes from Sherbrooke, it suits families, first-time buyers and retirees who want every service without giving up nature.<\/p>\n

Living in Granby<\/h2>\n

Granby offers the daily life of a regional city: shops, jobs and a lively downtown along rue Principale. Families can count on many elementary schools, three high schools (de la Haute-Ville, Joseph-Hermas-Leclerc and l’Envol\u00e9e) and the C\u00e9gep de Granby, which lets students go on to college without leaving town. The H\u00f4pital de Granby, with an emergency department, and the CLSC de la Haute-Yamaska (local community health centre) provide care close to home.<\/p>\n

Outdoors and nature in Granby<\/h2>\n

Lac Boivin, formed on the Yamaska Nord River, is the city’s great green space. The Centre d’interpr\u00e9tation de la nature du lac Boivin maintains nearly 10 km of trails through marsh, wet meadow and hemlock forest. The municipal bike network exceeds 100 km and connects to the Estriade toward Waterloo and the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9giade toward Farnham, two trails on the Route verte. Parc national de la Yamaska, in Roxton Pond, is a few minutes away.<\/p>\n

Culture and local flavours<\/h2>\n

Every August, the Festival international de la chanson de Granby brings the city to life; its 58th edition was held in 2026. The Zoo de Granby combines an animal park, the Amazoo water park and an amusement park. On Saturdays from May to November, the March\u00e9 public de Granby et r\u00e9gion brings producers together at Place du March\u00e9, steps from the Palace de Granby, the performance hall on rue Principale.<\/p>\n

Real estate in Granby<\/h2>\n

The housing stock is varied: single-family homes in established or newer neighbourhoods, condos, two- or three-unit plexes and building lots. Families look for proximity to schools and parks, first-time buyers and investors look at condos and plexes, and retirees appreciate having the hospital and shops close at hand. Access to Lac Boivin, the bike paths and downtown often weighs in a property’s value.<\/p>\n
