What are the pros and cons of living in downtown Montreal Jardins Windsor Condo Complex by the Bell Center?

We are planning to move into a 2 bedroom corner unit in the Jardins Windsor Condo complex in the newer buildings with access to a pool. We are interested in renting or maybe also buying. We were wondering if anyone recommends such a move with actual experience living there or knows someone who has lived there. Is it quiet, the area, streets and neighbors? Is the area safe? Are neighbours friendly? Is the concierge service quick and the buildings well taken care of? Are the facilities gym, sauna and pool packed to capacity - always or at times maybe during weekends? Does the garden get packed? If anyone has lived in Jardin Windsor - downtown Montreal, on St Jacques, de la Montagne or Jean D'Estree and moved out may add why they moved out. Otherwise, if you can suggest a building in the downtown area please do. All and any feedback will be helpfull. Thank you so much for the time you took to read this post and hope this can help all interested in the same.|||Hey. My brother lives in Montreal and I visit him every summer. The area around the bell center, and st.catrines street is one of the most upbeat and vibrant places to live in, in Canada. Being so close to downtown, and the core of MTL would be a pro but for those same reasons it could possibly be a con. That area gets pretty roudy, as a result of being located near the Bell Centre, and close to the heart of the nightlife of downtown Montreal. The area is safe and beautiful so I would say go for it. But the noise from the Bell Centre, the clubs, the bars, and traffic could get under your skin after a while. Bell Centre is one of the most occupies facilities in Canada. There are many concerts and sporting events that could make the area uncomfortable to live. In Montreal, the Canadians play 41 home games per year, all of which include tons of traffic and roudy fans. Montreal is a great city though and I am sure you will love it.. Hope this helped a little and good luck
