This charming neighborhood is full of detached or semi-detached cottages. Music aficionados can be regulars at Oscar-Peterson Hall on the Loyola campus, a 600-seat concert hall with exceptional acoustics.

Chester is known for it’s soccer fields, Loyola and Confederation are just some of the parks around.

Somerled Just one of the commercial streets in NDG, Somerled has everything you need. For families, it’s the sports facilities that make this area. The indoor pool of the West-Hill Sports Centre, 19 tennis courts in Somerled Park, and the Doug-Harvey Arena to name a few. This area is mostly made up of charming 1950s duplexes.

Village Monkland The most sought after neighbourhood in NDG. Rue Monkland is always busy with walkers and shoppers. Filled with coffee shops with outdoor terraces, organic food, many restaurants and all other conveniences, this area yields the highest dollar for real estate. Majestic homes detached and semi-detached are prone to darkness with all the old tress lining the streets. It’s a beautiful area and attracts many young professionals.

Upper Lachine Made up of mostly commercial, which is why there many reasonably-priced duplexes in the neighbourhood. You have Georges-Saint-Pierre Park, and from this area it only takes a few minutes to get downtown either by the Autoroute Ville-Marie or from the Vendôme Metro Station.

Villa-Maria-Vendôme There are a few magnificent houses right near the vast wooded area that surrounds the Villa-Maria convent, the jewel of the neighbourhood with its 200-year old central building. Take advantage of the neighbourhood’s artistic activities, attending events at the Maison de la Culture on Rue Botrel and activities at the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce pool and the community centre.

Maisonneuve-Sherbrooke  For many years, this area was always traditionally less appealing then the Monkland village, which reflects in the real estate prices. However a transition has taken place and quite a few of the properties have been bought up, renovated and cleaned up. Not as expensive as Monkland Village, however it’s not as “cheap” as it used to be. Benny Library and the Maison de la Culture Library are located in the NDG firehouse.
