What the average rent for an apartment can get you in each Montreal neighborhood

Moving season is just around the corner in Montreal, which means apartment hunting is on the rise… And so is the rent.

While Montreal is known to be one of the more affordable cities to live in in the country, the cost of living has significantly started to increase. Sure, it may not compare to other places like in Toronto or Vancouver, but locals are starting to feel the shift. 

According to CTV News, the average cost to rent an apartment on the island of Montreal is around $1,450 per month. This, of course, all depends on the exact location, space, and whether it is furnished or not (in addition to many other variables).

While it is still possible to find apartments under the average rental cost mentioned above, it should be noted that you most likely have found a rare gem in the city…
