Quartiers
Pointe St-Charles is one of the oldest parish in Montreal . A working class population constituted of Irish immigrants and French Canadians it has been one of the best well kept secret for many years.
PSC as it is well known used to be considered one of the toughest neighborhood in Canada. This reputation kept investors away and stopped the gentrification for many years.
My partner and I bought the house 35 years ago and realized soon enough that we had made the best move of our life. This community is tightly knit but welcoming . A true « Pointer » will never let you down !
