Spotlight on Nuns' Islands: a property area guide
Ten minutes by car or public transport from downtown Montréal, and avoiding the evening Champlain bridge crossing to the South Shore chaos, the south-east Nuns' Island, Verdun district has good-value homes - and is a country side like with a lake, an ecological golf and forest and a cycling path around the island.
Most single-family homes are of victorian style, while townhouses attached to condominiums complexes are of modern structure. Rental apartments buildings and rental townhouses from the 70's are built in a modern urban setting where public spaces, parks are unique in Montréal. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe has designed three high-rise buildings and a gas station in 1969. The station is converted to a community centre in 2012.
