Villeray-Saint Michel-Parc Extension Condos

The borough of Villeray-Saint Michel-Parc Extension is a vibrant cultural hub of Montreal’s ethnic communities. One of the oldest and richest heritages being that of the Italian community. The area resonates with bistro cafes, restaurants, bakeries and delicatessens. A major attraction to the region has always been the Jean Talon Market with its abundance of fresh produce brought in daily from Quebec farms. The vicinity has also been an attraction for real estate and condo developers.

Once a neighborhood of the working class it is has been evolving into an up-tempo, trendy hot spot for the chic and the up and coming, much like its borough cousin Outremont. Pricey boutiques and condominiums have sprouted up near Jarry Park. Not surprising given the fact the Park has become the center point for international and Canadian tennis tournaments like the Rogers Cup.

The old stadium was the original home of Major League Baseball’s now defunct Montreal Expos before they moved to the Olympic Stadium (they have since relocated to Washington, DC). The new Uniprix Stadium has taken the old Jarry Park and transformed it into a world-class venue for tennis, concerts and promotional events. They even added a new facility that has 4000 permanent seats and 4 more indoor courts. Its central location and close proximity to downtown Montreal are very appealing to residents, tourists and tennis enthusiasts alike.

More condo construction has taken place due to the renovation of old buildings that the city has either deemed historical sites or prime targets for demolition. The old train station was transformed into a large Loblaws grocery store, which was first met with disdain but has since been warmly welcomed by area denizens. From Parc Extension to Saint Michel you can find a vast selection of condos for sale or rent in all kinds of floor plans and price ranges.

Another attraction to the area is it’s the home of TOHU La Cité des arts du cirque featuring the École national du cirque and the world renowned Cirque de Soleil. Circus students from around the world come here to learn their craft and visiting acts come to show off their unique skills. Shows are featured year round for the public to enjoy both locally and on tour. Nowhere is so much spandex displayed as in this borough! If you’ve ever dreamed of running away to join the circus this is the place to be.

One reason to buy a condo in Condos Montreal is the selection offered. Condominiums come in an array of sizes and amenity choices and the lifestyle is almost as colorful as the circus in this borough. One is only limited by one’s budget. The subway system services the area with numerous stations making travel fast and simple. Buses are plentiful as are major traffic arteries like Jean Talon Boulevard and the Metropolitan expressway.
