Montreal Condos For Sale and Rent

FEATURED BUILDINGS

Montréal has got to be one of the premiere condo construction sites in North America. There are condos under construction, for sale or rent all over the city in almost every price range. I suppose it’s not too much of a surprise for Canada’s second largest city. Seeing as the lifestyle here is very cultured with a very keen fashion sense, high standard of haut couture and a joie de vivre like no where else.  Bilingual with English and French being the official languages, the city is warm and inviting and welcomes everyone.

You can find luxury condominiums with a view of the St. Lawrence River that can start anywhere from $350,000 to over $1 million and up.  But because Montreal is an island you can find beautiful condos with waterfront views North, South, East or West on the island. Whatever your taste in lifestyle and culture you’ll find it all in Montréal.

Exquisite real estate can be had in pricey neighborhoods like Westmount, Cote St. Luc and the West Island communities, but there are also other prime locations such as downtown where condos are for sale or rent. Some close to the Casino de Montréal, a hot spot for gambling, cabaret styled shows and some of the finest dining around. Others on De Maisonneuve and Sherbrooke St.’s close to the heart of the shopping on Ste. Catherine St. and the rich nightlife found on the surrounding area of Crescent, Peel, Mountain and University streets.

There is the old section of Montréal, which is near the Old Port where artisans sell their wares, museums, historic sites like the Notre Dame Cathedral where Celine Dion, amongst other celebrities and dignitaries have been married etc. And where many boutiques, fine restaurants, bars and clubs flourish. It is also an exclusive section where luxury condos abound and are for sale or rent. Vacation rentals can be had throughout the city proper as well as in prime locations.

In the heart of downtown there are condo complexes that are linked to a network of underground tunnels. Montréal is world famous for its underground shopping and with these condos you don’t even have to go outside to do your grocery shopping. That’s very handy when the weather is unpleasant, especially in the winter. Underground links can be found from Sherbrooke Street down to St. Urbain. Linking hotels, shops, boutiques, restaurants and the famous Place Des Arts entertainment center. Not to mention Complex Desjardins and its array of shopping and accommodations.

Condominiums in Montréal are quite affordable when you consider you are in a world-class metropolis. For example, in the residential north central Ahuntsic area moderately priced condos start at $117,000 and up and range in sizes from 3½ to 5½ apartments that even have a fireplace. These are close to major boulevards, shopping, schools, hospitals and feature easy access to bus and metro transportation.

In the South West part of the city you can find pricey condos along the banks of the Lachine Canal with a lovely view of the park area as well as access to boating along the canal’s corridor. It stretches for miles from the Old Port to Lake St Louis at the end of the northwestern part of the island. A leisurely boat ride on the canal can make for a lovely excursion and you can picnic in the park along the way.

Some of the best-kept secrets for vacation rentals, prime real estate and condo living are found on the North Shore of the island facing the territory of Laval on the other side of the river. Along Gouin Boulevard you will find high-rise and townhouse condos at affordable prices, with breathtaking views of the back river waterway. Lush parks, marinas, wildlife habitats and private estates line the area that stretches for miles along the shore from North East Point aux Trembles to Cap Saint Jacques in the North West.
