Saint-Henri
Saint-Henri is Montreal's canonical gentrification story, told without any of the usual softening. Fifty-nine restaurants, 14 coffee shops, socialGlue at 82 — and a grocery gap that locals have been complaining about since before the condos arrived.

About this Neighborhood
Saint-Henri has been in transition for long enough that the transition is now its defining characteristic. The 59 restaurants reflect a neighborhood that has accumulated dining infrastructure faster than it's replaced the working-class institutions that gave it flavor in the first place. Coffee is well-served at 14 cafes — that's above the cohort mean, with a density that signals the freelancer wave hit and stuck. The grocery gap (z=-1.62, 8 options against a cohort avg of 14.9) is the legacy friction: the big supermarkets didn't follow the restaurants. Parks are genuinely present at 23 — the Lachine Canal greenway raises that number significantly. Social glue at 82 means people do stay and connect, but the similarity to tech-adjacent zones is becoming more legible each year. The 23 parks give it a spatial generosity most comparables can't claim.
