Downtown Montréal, prime living space

Residents appreciate the quality of life that downtown offers. Its architecture, dynamism, cultural offerings, public spaces, and convenient walking distance to all services make it a prime place to live.

What’s more, residents enjoy direct access to the metropolitan public transit network:

  • 9 subway stations;
  • Réseau express métropolitain (REM);
  • rail network.
