Verdun was historically a chiefly residential area; however, the late 1990s and 2000s saw a gradual revival of the [[Wellington Street, Montreal|Wellington Street]] commercial artery, with several shops, restaurants, and cafés opening.

By 2020, Wellington was considered one of the city's trendiest streets, comparable to [[Mount Royal Avenue]] in the [[Le Plateau-Mont-Royal|Plateau]],<ref name="gentrification1" /><ref name="gentrification2" /><ref name="Coolest" /> and hosted part of the [[Montreal International Jazz Festival|Jazz Fest]] in 2019.<ref name="Jazz fest" />
