The Plateau Mont-Royal brings together all the charm of neighbourhood life and the intensity of urban living. A unique neighbourhood at the foot of Mount Royal, it is made up of narrow tree-lined streets and distinctive architecture, with its colourful houses and outdoor staircases.

Its bike paths and metro stations make it an easily accessible neighbourhood, where the proximity of shops and green spaces offers an incomparable quality of life.

The cafés, bars, restaurants and boutiques lining Saint-Denis Street, Mont-Royal Avenue and Saint-Laurent Boulevard give the neighbourhood a vitality that makes it one of the most dynamic in the city.

The Plateau Mont-Royal is bounded by the following streets: starting from the intersection of Sherbrooke and Université streets in the southwest, the boundary runs north along Université Street to Pine Avenue, then east along Pine Avenue to Parc Avenue, then north to Hutchison Street, passing along Saint-Joseph Boulevard westward to Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine.

The Mile End is part of the Plateau Mont-Royal borough, but it stands apart because it has its own identity. Since the 1990s, the neighbourhood has developed by welcoming several new-technology companies, such as video game developer Ubisoft, which settled in former factories and helped revitalize the area.

For several years now, new boutiques have appeared, along with bars and restaurants that stand alongside iconic Montreal businesses such as the Fairmount and St-Viateur bagel bakeries or Schwartz’s smoked meat, on main commercial streets such as Fairmount Street, Bernard Street and Saint-Laurent Boulevard.

The Mile End is bordered by Hutchison Street to the west, Henri-Julien and De Bullion streets to the east, Mont-Royal Avenue to the south and the Canadian Pacific railway to the north.

With its quiet and increasingly leafy streets, and the green alleys that have been appearing in recent years, Villeray has become one of the most sought-after residential and family neighbourhoods in Montreal.

The proximity of Jean-Talon Market, the largest public market in Montreal, the shops that have been multiplying in recent years on De Castelnau and Villeray streets, and easy access to one of the city’s largest parks, Parc Jarry, make Villeray a neighbourhood of choice for families.

Villeray is bordered to the north by Crémazie Boulevard, to the south by Jean-Talon Street, to the west by Casgrain Street and to the east by Garnier Street.

It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Montreal, known as the home of Montreal’s French-speaking bourgeoisie. It features wide tree-lined streets and avenues, along with magnificent homes with heritage character.

Outremont brings together a mix of students attending the Université de Montréal, business leaders, and a large part of Montreal’s Hasidic Jewish community, which settled there in the 1940s.

Its commercial streets, such as Laurier Avenue West and Bernard Avenue, are lined with high-end boutiques, restaurants, cafés and terraces. There are also many parks, including Mount Royal Cemetery and its peaceful paths, from which you can enjoy magnificent views of Montreal.

Outremont is bounded by Van Horne Avenue to the north and, to the south, by Mount Royal Cemetery and Mount Royal Park. To the east is de l’Épée Avenue, and to the west the neighbourhood is bordered by Vimy, Robert and Vincent-d’Indy avenues.

In recent years, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve has become one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Montreal. A rich neighbourhood life, still-affordable housing, its proximity to downtown and its many metro stations make it one of the most interesting in Montreal.

HoMa has its own personality and a very strong sense of belonging. Overlooked by the Olympic Stadium, it offers good restaurants and cafés around Place Valois, many shops on Ontario Street and the Maisonneuve public market. Two of Montreal’s largest parks are located here: Bellerive Park, which runs along the river, and Maisonneuve Park, next to the Botanical Garden.

Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is bounded to the south by the port, to the north by Sherbrooke Street, to the east by Viau and Vimont streets and to the west by Bourbonnière Street.

The Ville-Marie neighbourhood is the heart of Montreal. It is home to most of the city’s tourist attractions, museums, historic sites, the head offices of many companies, iconic shops, notably on Sainte-Catherine Street, and four universities, making it one of the best-served neighbourhoods by public transit.

It is the liveliest neighbourhood in the city, whether you think of the winter and summer festivals held there every year or the variety of activities to be found. The types of architecture and housing are varied, and this is where many luxury residential towers are found. Downtown Montreal has one of the highest residential densities in North America.

Ville-Marie is bordered to the south by the Saint Lawrence River and is surrounded by the following boroughs: Westmount, Outremont, the Sud-Ouest, the Plateau Mont-Royal and HoMa.

Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is made up of several distinct small communities, each with its own personality. The Angus sector is more residential, with quiet streets and many parks. La Cité-Jardin, close to the Botanical Garden, has single-family homes, and the Masson Street area (Vieux-Rosemont) has row duplexes and triplexes.

It is the liveliest neighbourhood in the city, whether you think of the winter and summer festivals held there every year or the variety of activities to be found. There is a lively neighbourhood life, supported by a host of nearby shops, on Plaza St-Hubert and Masson Street among others, and a cultural life thanks to the Beaubien cinema, one of the few neighbourhood cinemas in Montreal.

Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is bounded to the north by Bélanger Street, to the south by Hochelaga Street, to the west by Parc Avenue and to the east by Dickson Street.
