The good reasons to live in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG), and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.
Living in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG), the pros and cons. Pros: Brick houses on quiet streets, two metro stations, the MUHC, schools in both languages and a bilingual neighbourhood. Monkland and Sherbrooke for shopping, neighbourhood parks and one of the rare real house markets in the centre of the island. Cons: A house costs $1.25 million: NDG is no longer an entry neighbourhood, and the plex condo is the alternative. Houses from 1920 to 1950 have low basements, narrow garages and work to plan; water infiltration is a topic on some streets. For families who want a brick house, a quiet street, the metro, English and French schools and a bilingual neighbourhood: NDG is the first address for newcomers from Ontario and MUHC professionals. Less so for those seeking the lowest entry price or nightlife: NDG goes to bed early, and its house costs $1.25 million.
These are the points buyers report to us after visiting, not flaws on principle: each one weighs differently depending on whether you work downtown or remotely, own one car or two, have children or not. For a specific street, three things get checked on site before offering: the school catchment, the flood zone and the noise at rush hour.
