Question 2

Can renters afford Outremont?

Accepted Answer

Outremont is one of the more expensive neighborhoods in Montreal, but rental options do exist — particularly in older apartment buildings and in the area south of Avenue Van Horne. Rents are higher than the city average but can be competitive with the Plateau for comparable quality. The Outremont metro station (Blue Line) provides transit access, and the neighborhood is very walkable. Many buildings are older with character features like hardwood floors, crown molding, and generous room sizes. The trade-off is that fewer modern amenities (in-unit laundry, elevator) are available compared to newer neighborhoods.
