Ville-Émard is pretty affordable and has some nice streets and parks but Monk has a problem with too many bars and pool halls to my taste. It's pretty sketchy and underwordly at best.

Right on. I think it's just that these days people are valuing proximity to downtown and or the plateau before all else when purchasing a home in Montreal. Our road system has just made that sort of reasoning obligatory I guess.
That strip of Notre-Dame is amazingly depressing in that it has so much natural charm, proximity to the water, and yet only crappy businesses seem to prosper there. I guess it's just considered too ''out of the way'' in this day and age.
