Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Borough

Notre-Dame-de-Grace

---

Notre-Dame-de-Grace also familiarly called NDG and Côte-des-Neiges is a borough whose evolution began during the middle of the 19th century.

Both districts are located West of the Mount-Royal.

During the 19th century, NDG was a farm territory, famous for its Montreal sweet melons that were shipped to fancy New York restaurants. During those days, NDG was, for the most part, a district with a population slightly richer than middle-class.

As years went by, top-of-the-range residential constructions changed the nature of the neighbourhood. Nowadays, NDG is a highly residential district located in the western part of the borough.

NDG Areas

There are four main areas in NDG.

A first area generally called “Westmount adjacent”, is located between Décarie and the town of Westmount. Westmount Adjacent is bordered to the south by de Maisonneuve and to the north by the lands of Villa Maria.

A second area generally called the “Monkland Village” by the residents, extends to the west of Décarie until a more or less definite limit that could be Beaconsfield or Kensington, between Sherbrooke to the south and Côte-Saint-Luc to the north.

Under the pressure of the real estate market, an area traditionally more modest located south of Sherbrooke tends to get more refined and to slowly get incorporated into the “Monkland Village”.

Finally, west of the “Monkland Village” as far as Montreal-West, there’s a vast territory that started to emerge after the Second World War. The area is limited to the south by Saint-Jacques and to the north by Côte-Saint-Luc.

NDG Streets & Avenues

To find out more about NDG and to enjoy yourself, a walk on the popular Monkland Avenue with its many coffee shops, restaurants and terraces is a pleasant and an essential venture.

Simply get off at the Villa Maria metro station. You may also visit Victoria Street for its Caribbean and Jamaican shops and restaurants.

Commercial activities are also concentrated on Somerled, Côte Saint-Luc, Sherbrooke and Saint-Jacques where you’ll find all the usual convenience stores such grocers, drugstores and cleaners, as well as many other not so usual stores.
