Just north of Downtown and just west of the Plateau, McGill Ghetto is a small university enclave populated mostly by McGill University students and, to a lesser extent, its faculty.
The neighborhood is almost entirely residential and many of its blocks are absolutely gorgeous. If you happen to visit in late fall, you’ll be treated to a colorful combination of turn-of-the-century houses, brightly colored leaves and subtle quasi-academic disarray of the tree-lined streets. Fans of modern architecture may want ot walk by McGill’s Schulich School of Music on Rue Sherbrooke, on the southern edge of the neighborhood.
