The fourth article of the Montreal Signs series. Westmount Population - 20,003 Although a few other parts of Montreal Island now have higher per capita incomes, none carries the connotation of wealth and old money that Westmount does to Montrealers. The Beverly Hills of the Montreal region, Westmount is right where its name would lead you to believe: on the west side of Mount Royal, with old stone mansions nestled on the back streets at the higher levels of the city.

Below the area in the first picture, the Autoroute Decarie begins which is a below grade highway that cuts right through the original street.
