I was born in Montreal, raised from infancy on Mill Hill in Chomedey. Chomedey in the 60's and 70's was a wonderful place to live, there were parks, and green spaces to play, and small business's that served the local community. Chomedey back then was a place where you knew your neighbors and felt safe. I recently went back to visit Mill Hill, and was surprised at how small the neighborhood felt. We had changed; both of us older, me with my grey hair and beard, and Mill Hill showing signs of fatigue. I had my camera in hand as I walked around remembering the families who once occupied the duplex lined street, when I was approached by three curious mid-twenties men. One complimented me on my nice camera, cautioning me that I should put it away. I explained that I grew up on Mill Hill in the 60's, they became very interested in my story, and lost their edge. I had a pleasant visit and encounter. Chomedey remains a GOOD place! Thanks for the video

@@borachan7805 I was being a bit facetious. it actually depends on your personal situation and what you are willing to put up with in terms of taxes and weather conditions. Winters are brutal especially in the city. Taxes are quite excessive if you get in the higher tax brakets. Also real estate costs are outrageous in metropolitan areas. I was born there and I left for a developing country but my case is quite unique. If you are going to expand all the effort to move in a new country I would choose somewhere a bit warmer and with more employment opportunities too.

These are the things that you need to know before coming to Quebec: Super high taxes, Ongoing constructions that closes roads everywhere but the road is still full of potholes the size of sinkholes, lots and lots and lots of snow so requires super snow-shovelling skills, education system is with super cheap and good daycare + public elementary school is good + must go to subsidized private high school + super good universities, healthcare system is crumbling and no decent Chinese food.

Yes West Island is still nice, the best place to live and raise a family imo. DDO is very convenient with all the great stores at your doorstep and with great houses, a very convenient highway that takes you everywhere you want to go but a bit boring. Pointe-Claire is DDO but more vibrant with more boutique places. Kirkland is DDO but more upscale. Overall, DDO+Pointe-Claire+Kirkland make up the best of West Island it can offer. You really don't need to go anywhere and can't anyway with the stupid Montreal mayor Valerie Plante closing all the streets in Montréal and turning them into pedestrian-only streets and getting rid of all the parking spaces to build those bike lanes that are only used for at most 4 months in a year.

@@gablaflammepro Since my Longueuil/Montreal years, I have lived the vast majority of my life in Phoenix. Interesting fact: Montreal (metro and city proper) is almost identical in population to Phoenix - yet we have almost nothing to show for it down here and Montreal puts Phoenix to shame in every category except winter weather. I look around me down here and I ask myself, "How was all that possible in Montreal and not Phoenix? Why can't we have nice stuff like they do up there?" You might wonder why I was living up there in the first place. I wasn't exactly up there living the life of a normal Quebeois. I was in a Catholic religious order that had a house in Longueuil and I was studying at Concordia (Loyola campus). After two years, I discovered that poverty, chastity, and obedience were not how I wanted to spend the rest of my life, so I left the religious life and returned to Phoenix. I have not been many places, but Montreal is still the very best city I've seen and experienced - and I can't imagine a better city. It is nothing short of amazing. It was (and is, if KZbin is to be believed) in fact, jaw-dropping. You have a great weekend, too!

☆LONGUEUIL IS A RSCIST DUMP☆ If you're an immigrant coming into Canada or anyone for that matter and thinking of settling into Longueuil think again. The rent might be more affordable than Montréal but to get to know Montréal from this totally hard-core Quebecois filled hell hole is brutal. Yes as he explains the first thing that's a huge con is that you are so close to the magic of Montréal but getting there is hell no matter how you slice it. You can see the city just a small bridge's distance away, but it's almost like a cruel joke. The separate bus system is twice the price and not only do you have to pay for that to then use the Montréal transport system, well you have to pay for that too. Let's say you need to take the bus into the city for work, you still need a car to get there. There are large bus terminals that require either a lift or you have to leave your car in the parking lot. In the winter it's an absolute bitch. So no matter how you look at it transport is not simple or more affordable it's just as bad, actually in many ways far worse. If you rent the longer you stay out there the higher the rents will be when you finally decide that you've had enough. If you want to buy, that's a different story however it is NOT a pretty place to live. A huge portion of it js just old ugly 70s and 80s dirty apartment buildings and bungalows. There is a large homless population there, with a lot of single mothers, down and out elderly people and welfare cases. So to spend 570,000$ on an 80s bungalow with no curb appeal, there are other options. If you have the 1.1 million dollars for a more luxurious home, you might get more bang for your buck, but that goes 6 anywhere that far away from the island of montreal. The first pros were the first cons. The location sucks no matter how you look at it. There is absolutely nothing there. There is a bike path in any municipality, so big deal, a bike path, wow. No matter what is said in this video that has any kind positive swing to it is that it's in Montréal, that once again very difficult to get to, so it's just a hassle. Don't be fooled, weekend traffic is inevitable and just as bad no matter what bridge you take. I lived on the other side of the south shore in Ste. Catherine and it is by far cleaner and more attractive. At the same time, the bridge there comes with the same amount of traffic and the same bus hassle. There is absolutely nothing there, but *LE 10X30* (pronounced the ten thirty) in BROSSARD. Great shopping outlets, nightlife, cinima lots of eateries, it has EVERYTHING! (and the people are SEXY!) So back towards downtown on the other side known as "La Coupe Longueuil" meaning a "Redneck's Mullet". No matter how you deduce it there is absolutely no sense of community and and Longueuil is an absolute dump. Do not even bother. Plenty of adjacent burrows that are a far better place to live. I am a retired master sales realestate agent that has lived in and around Montréal for 50 years. I'm also familiar with the cottage life and downhill skiing anywhere from 45 minutes all way to 3 hours in a complete circle from Montreal. So believe me when I say that Longueuil is not even worth a look, use your time wisely and stay safe!

HI, I enjoyed your presentation on living in Repentigny, Quebec. My husband’s family lives there, So, I have been visiting it since my youth. It is amazing the changes that I have witnessed… I began seeing him in 1990 and made a trip there from Ottawa (where my family lives). I am now 55, so I’d have been able to visit it many, many times. I even lived in Montreal for a while (in Ahuntsik) and commuted to McGill every day by car. After having lived in many places over our lifetimes, we have decided that Repentigny is not for us. For the following reasons… 1) you can always hear the highway from the centre of town 2) we find the driving to be not that great… maybe it is because we are always driving to his parents house which is not that far from Rive Nord… and it just feels like the city planners have done a poor job in their planning because we have to intricately cut through the shopping centre to get to his house… and 3) there is a new cultural centre, which is very beautiful, but there are no interesting plays to see and nowhere to go to dinner first. Commuting for these small pleasures, especially at 55 should not be necessary… there are no movie theatres in Repentigny either, big faux pas and no hotels. Maybe one day it will meet (my personal requirements) but it is not there quite yet. For these reasons, we have decided not to retire in Repentigny. I am also anglophone, so that doesn’t help either. However, Repentigny has become, over the years a beautiful place to visit. We love our trips to go see and see Grandpapa (recently widowed). We now live in Libertyville, Illinois, U.S.A.

I am from Montreal and been living in Longueuil for a few years. Really getting priced out of MTL. I have to say I really enjoy my street in the old Longueuil , it’s peaceful but I absolutely hate the food scene. I’m not a snob about food but restaurants here have horrible service compared to Montreal. It’s the #1 thing I miss the most. Restaurants constantly do mistakes in my orders to a point where it’s mind boggling and constant… With that said, I do have to shoutout the good places I do love in the area. Shoutout to Pizza Metro, the best restaurant I’ve found here. The people working there are lovely and attentionate, the food is delicious and it’s hard to find a good pizza in the area (idk why it’s so hard!) I especially recommend their spaghetti, portions are big and tasty filling lots of leftovers. They also are really fast. It’s my number 1. There’s Grillades Torino with the BEST grilled chicken and Mon Ami for delicious korean food. Also recommend Tayio for sushi & more. Noobox for stir fry (you build it yourself and they are allergy friendly, great place but a bit pricey) and Blue Bar Desserts for desserts (the ladies are soooo nice and always add extras like candy or even donuts in my orders with smileys without me asking. Very sweet). I also love Chez LouLou Crème Glacée for ice cream, it’s the best tasting ice cream I’ve ever had.
