Living in Le Sud-Ouest
Borough of Montreal · Southwest
Le Sud-Ouest encompasses some of Montreal's most dramatically transformed neighbourhoods — Saint-Henri, Pointe-Saint-Charles, Côte-Saint-Paul, and Saint-Paul/Émard. Industrial lofts, canal-side parks, and a gritty creative energy define the borough, which sits at the intersection of gentrification and deep-rooted Québécois working-class culture.

A tale of two cities: longtime working-class Québécois residents in Pointe-Saint-Charles coexist with creative-class newcomers in Saint-Henri; tensions around gentrification are real and ongoing.
