There is a French-language high school (École secondaire (Secondary School) Mont-Bleu – previously known as Polyvalente Mont-Bleu) and two CEGEPs (Heritage College and CEGEP de l'Outaouais) all within short distances of each other. The Asticou Centre is also close by. It was named Cité-des-Jeunes (French for 'City of Youths') in the 1960s when the Polyvalente de Hull, which existed from 1966 to 1974, was built. Asticou Centre now occupies the buildings.

It is a somewhat scenic route for much of its length, as on one side of the road is the beautiful Gatineau Park.

There are many apartment buildings on the east side of the road, many of them occupied by students of the CÉGEP. It is predominantly a residential area, though there is a Metro supermarket, a few strip malls, and a Subway Restaurants location. There are very few other structures on the western side of the road besides the schools, although a small sports complex is located beside the Mont-Bleu school.

There are many bike and walking paths along Cité-des-Jeunes and through Gatineau Park. Gatineau park is also a popular place for cross country skiing.
