About the Neighbourhood
Shaughnessy Village is an Historical area located in the heart of downtown Montreal. Even though it is accessible to several Metro Stations, it is often overlooked due to it's discreet and quiet location. These tree-lined streets are now part of a protected historical residential area in Montreal. Shaughnessy Village is named after the famous Shaughnessy House, which is now part of the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Included in its vicinity was a community of sisters known as the Grey Nuns. Their chapel and nunnery still stands today as part of Concordia University’s campus. In the past, the nuns had rented out the surrounding grey-stone properties to use as guest rooms for the priests who visited and taught at the Nunnery. As years gone by, these properties became homes for students, and recently, a rediscovery of these heritage buildings has brought a restoration to the area. The village has been dramatically restored to beyond its original glory, and the homes within it are some of the most desired properties in Montreal.
