Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Notre-Dame-de-Grâce offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG) with a family. The neighbourhood falls under the Centre de services scolaire de Montréal and the English Montreal School Board, with several English and private high schools nearby; Concordia's Loyola campus and Villa Maria College are in the neighbourhood. Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Park is the neighbourhood's green heart, with its fields and skating rink; Loyola, Trenholme and Girouard parks add to it; Mount Royal and Westmount Park are neighbours. The orange line serves NDG at Villa-Maria and Vendôme; Vendôme is also an exo train station (Vaudreuil-Hudson and Candiac lines) connected to the MUHC. Pro: Brick houses on quiet streets, two metro stations, the MUHC, schools in both languages and a bilingual neighbourhood. Con: A house costs $1.25 million: NDG is no longer an entry neighbourhood, and the plex condo is the alternative. 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.

The school catchment of a specific address cannot be guessed: it is checked with the school service centre before offering, and subsidized daycare spots are requested early, everywhere in the region.
For a family, the commute is measured at rush hour, with the detour by the daycare or the school: do it once on a Tuesday morning before deciding.
