7 Montreal apartments for rent under $1,000 that are surprisingly decent

Meanwhile, two-bedroom units have a median price of $2,200, making Montreal the seventh-most expensive Canadian city to find an apartment in.</p><p>We may not be on Toronto or Vancouver's level yet, but it's far from cheap.</p><p>However, hope is not completely lost for those on a tighter budget. Montreal apartments for rent under $1,000 are undoubtedly less common than they used to be. But they are still out there — if you look hard enough.</p><p>And while pads within that price point are probably not big enough for more than one (very organized) person, they're certainly liveable, and sometimes even conveniently located. </p><p>As of February 18, 2025, here are seven apartments available for rent in Montreal that somehow charge less than four figures a month.</p><p><em>Note: The price shown is base rent and may not include non-optional fees and utilities.</em></p><h3>One-bedroom in NDG</h3><br/><img alt="A white kitchen that includes a microwave, fridge, and stove." class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="22e637a60621992573ceb2d9d1c34c7c" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" id="c7829" loading="lazy" src="https://www.mtlblog.com/media-library/a-white-kitchen-that-includes-a-microwave-fridge-and-stove.jpg?id=56516444&width=980"/><p><strong>Price</strong>: $995/month</p><p><strong>Address</strong>: 4080 Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Montreal</p><p><strong>Square footage:</strong> 380</p><p><strong>Description</strong>: These one-bedroom apartments are located in the heart of NDG, offering convenient access to local amenities.
