(Redirected from NDG)
:''For the Quebec provincial electoral district, see Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (provincial electoral district)''
'Notre-Dame-de-Grâce' is a residential district of Montreal located to the west of downtown; population: 30,102 (according to the 2001 census data) [1]).
This district, which is known as NDG to locals, is one of five districts of the borough of Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. The district of NDG is bounded on the east by the border with Westmount, the south by the Falaise Saint-Jacques, the west by Kensington Avenue and the north by Cote-Saint-Luc Road, although many local definitions of NDG include the district of Loyola as well, extending west to the border with Montreal West.
The eastern part of N.D.G., clustered around the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce parish church, has always been a traditionally francophone neighbourhood. The central and western parts were, and to some extent still are, traditionally the home of middle-class and working-class anglophones, although they have a growing francophone and immigrant population. The majority (or 54%) of residents in this district speak English in their homes. Only 36% of residents speak French in their homes in this district.There is also a sizeable Afro-Canadian and immigrant community mostly around the parts of the district north of Fielding Avenue.[2].
The Loyola Campus of Concordia University is located in the neighboring Loyola district, at the western extremity of Monkland Avenue.
Many of the houses are quite old, having been built upwards of 70 years ago. The neighbourhood is known for its tree-lined streets and large proportions of closely cropped duplexes. There are also many apartment buildings, with many of the district's public housing units located on the historically crime-ridden Walkley Avenue. Nevertheless, times are changing and property prices throughout the district have grown and it is becoming an increasingly popular place to live.
The major commercial streets are Monkland Avenue and Sherbrooke Street West. At the eastern end of Monkland lies the Villa Maria metro station and the main portal of the grounds of a private girls-only school bearing the same name. Vendôme station, near the borough's southeastern end is the other metro station in the area.
