Funny, it isn't in an out-of-the-way place; you can see it from Jean-Talon in front of Jean-Talon métro. Les Habitations Saint-Georges are on Lajeunesse, between rue de Castelnau and Jean-Talon, just behind Église St-Georges (or St-George's Church, or whatever the Arabic is, an Orthodox church on Jean-Talon, one of the monuments of the Lebanese community that settled in the area at the beginning of the last century, as the Italian community did.

Les Habitations St-Georges are among the nicest complexes of social housing for elderly people; as you can see they are low rise buildings (they do have elevators though, due to the needs of the clientele), happily not very "institutional" looking. They are well-designed small flats, each one has a balcony as you can see.

Of course the area is very convenient, very close to a métro station with two lines, and many buses, handy for people who might not be quite up to the métro (alas Jean-Talon didn't get a lift as Lionel-Groulx and the ends of lines have), to the Jean-Talon market, the Métro supermarket and Asian shops even closer, rue St-Hubert, a community centre (Centre Lajeunesse) where there are many activities for seniors and others, places of worship...

I know someone who lives there very happily. L'Association des locataires de Villeray played a part in advocating this complex.
