Renting in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal
The once bourgeois borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal is in the midst of a transformation. Both young and old are invited to discover its chic neighborhoods and pleasant streets as it becomes one of the trendiest places to live in Montreal. But don’t just watch, take part, and rent an apartment on Le Plateau.
Driven by diverse demographics
The arrondissement of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal is situated in the middle of a beautiful urban landscape, with the perfect touch of green spaces attracting a wide variety of interested actors to its real estate market. Ideally located north of the vibrant Downtown Montreal and east of Mont-Royal, this bilingual borough (French and English-speaking) is comprised of a few of the most popular neighborhoods in Montreal: the artistic Mile End to the north and the spirited Le Plateau to the south.
This combination gives Le Plateau-Mont-Royal a certain youthfulness. It’s no wonder that its population’s average age is 34, however, comprised of families and singles, artists, students and young professionals from Quebec and abroad. They are drawn to its good-humored atmosphere, picturesque tree-lined streets, charming cafes and restaurants, classic architecture and elegant Victorian-style residences along St. Louis Square, imposing staircases, and the whimsical colors of windows.
Market expectations
The rental market in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal is extremely dynamic, activated by constant interest thanks to the popularity of its two neighborhoods attracting people who may not be ready to buy yet. In fact, approximately 70% of real estate in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal is occupied by tenants.
