Neighborhood

Daily duties can be completed without the use of a car thanks to an exceptional walking score of 96 out of 100. This neighbourhood is brimming with culture, history, shops, modern buildings, and green spaces—the ideal mix of old and new. For classical music fans, Maison Symphonique, an acoustic marvel that serves as a concert hall for the Montréal Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal, is located in this neighbourhood.
