Some places on the island have trendy bars but lack affordable apartments; others have good rentals but aren't close to a metro. This neighbourhood has it all: quaint cafés, cool bars, great restaurants, corner-store grocery shops, quick access to public transit, and plenty of all-day breakfast joints.
Four metro stations serve the borough — Jean-Talon, Beaubien, Rosemont, and Fabre on the Orange and Blue lines — along with multiple bus routes and dozens of Bixi stations. The Carrières path along the Canadian Pacific Railway gives a glimpse of the area's industrial past, while the Boyer and Saint-Dominique paths offer easy bike access downtown.
Situated near many attractions and services: Jean-Talon Market, Olympic Park, Botanical Garden, Parc Maisonneuve, Cinéma Beaubien, and Plaza Saint-Hubert.
