It appears that this post has caused Montreal to beat out Houston in the top 5.

Sorry Houston.

Dear Houston: thats right - the Canadian cities are taking over.

When I am unable to drive my wife to work, she changes buses at du College metro.

Apparently my apartment is a one minute walk from that metro stop. Do you know anything about the neighbourhood around it?

That area is pretty diverse and while not entirely crime-free, it does not have a bad name by any stretch of the imagination. All in all, a pretty safe area, I would say. Vanier college is located nearby, and there is some good shopping fairly close to the metro, especially if you like ethnic foods. But in the end, it all depends on what your building is like. A bad building in a good area is still bad. I hope you have chosen a good place.

I'm glad to hear that it's a decent place. It's hard to tell from Google Earth and I've been having a hard time finding anything about the area on the internet (except that the street I'm living on is home to Canada's first strip mall).

I'm hoping the place I've moved into is good, it's really quite a gamble for me. The landlord seems nice. I'll eventually be moving to the Plateau but I'm not sure how long from now that will be.
