For those who don’t know, Côte-des-Neiges is made up of two different yet deeply connected areas. At the top of the hill, you’re surrounded by university life, hospitals, long-time residents, and the steady flow of tourists visiting Saint Joseph’s Oratory. Further down in the opposite direction of downtown lies the neighbourhood locals know as Uptown 160.
While Uptown has often been labeled as one of the city’s most marginalized neighbourhoods, a reputation that often downplays how much it has to offer. It’s easily one of Montreal’s most underrated areas, and if you’ve never set foot in Côte-des-Neiges as a whole, you’re missing a key part of what shaped the city into the layered, multilingual place it is today.
