What is the cost of living in Montreal for the urban lifestyle you like?
With many fun things to do in Montreal, this city offers all kinds of urban living and lifestyles: apartments, lofts, townhouses and single family homes.
The city offers many urban styles of living. Fall in love with the Plateau, the equivalent of NYC Soho, which has often been voted as one of the best North American urban neighbourhoods. Enjoy Westmount with its mansions and family houses. Be cool in the bohemian Latin Quarter or live an active lifestyle in an apartment near Atwater Market and the Lachine Canal.
Montreal is divided into 27 boroughs. Each borough of Montreal has its own character and appeal for those who live there.
