The Cote-des-Neiges architecture was mostly built after the Second World War.
Most buildings are low-rise, from 3 to 6 stories.
The area is not considered "high-end", so lodgings are generally affordable.
The territory offers a current architectural framework and an urban landscape with many differences. Urban territories seldom present so many differences like Cote-des-Neiges does.
As a whole, Côte-des-Neiges offers a more modern architecture than is usually found in Montreal, less elaborate, more basic, more functional and not at all unpleasant to look at and to live in.
The institutional function is also represented by the Cote-des-Neiges Cemetery Montreal as everybody calls it. It's real name however is Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery.
