Overview

The traditional home to Montreal's middle-class Jewish community, Mile End is an unofficial designation that usually refers to the area around Parc Avenue in the 5000-address range. Ethnically, the area is now as diverse as the rest of the city, and architecturally it can be seen as a less gentrified extension of the Plateau Mont-Royal. Lingering testaments to the still considerable Jewish population include the Fairmount and St-Viateur bagel shops.
