Snowdon has a character that caters to a fairly diverse group of people. Snowdon is reasonably quiet overall, as the streets tend to be calm, although that is not the case near the railway line or Autoroute Décarie. On the other hand, this area features a fair amount of greenery; it is easy to reach green spaces from a lot of locations within the neighbourhood since there are over 50 of them close by for residents to check out. Residents will also find that most streets have good tree coverage. Finally, even though the ambience is not the liveliest in this neighbourhood, its main streets can still be quite energetic, and finding one of the about 10 bars is very easy as they are generally situated in very convenient locations.
