Is Montréverd a good place to live?

Montréverd has no overall grade because safety and schools aren’t graded here. Its weakest subject is walkability (C−): 42% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 6% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. At the median price of €2,027/m², a 70 m² home costs 5.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit (an income adjusted for household size) in the Communauté d'agglomération Terres de Montaigu. Its strongest is health (B+): after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 21% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns.
