Here’s the average rent in 10 Montreal neighbourhoods — and the salary you need to afford it

<img src="https://www.mtlblog.com/media-library/row-of-brick-houses-in-westmount-quebec-illustrative.jpg?id=54888619&width=1200&height=800&coordinates=0%2C0%2C0%2C1"/><br/><br/><p> Montreal's rental market continues to be one of the <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/how-much-to-afford-average-rent-montreal-vs-canadian-cities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more affordable options among major Canadian cities</a>, but don't be fooled — prices still vary widely depending on the neighbourhood. If you're planning a move or are just curious about how much rent is setting people back in Montreal, we've got the latest numbers for you. </p><p> While <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/montreal-rent-rising-as-canadian-rent-drops" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rent across Canada is actually on the decline</a> lately for the first time in years, Montreal seems to have missed the memo. According to the November 2024 rent report from <a href="https://liv.rent/blog/featured/november-2024-montreal-rent-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">real estate platform liv.rent</a>, the average rent for an unfurnished 3½ — or one-bedroom apartment — across Montreal is $1,729 per month. That's a $14 dip from last month, but still $142 higher than this time last year. </p><p> The priciest area No surprise here: Westmount tops the list with rents averaging $2,021. On the other end of the spectrum, Ahuntsic-Cartierville is the most budget-friendly spot, with an average rent of $1,481 — a whopping $540 difference. </p><p> Following the <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/financial-consumer-agency/services/renting-first-apartment.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Government of Canada's recommendation</a> that your rent should take up no more than 35% of your gross income, you'd need to earn nearly $70,000 per year to afford an average one-bedroom in Westmount. But if you're wondering how far your salary can take you in other parts of Montreal, we've got you covered. </p><p> Here's a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood breakdown of what you'd need to earn annually to comfortably afford an average 3½ in Montreal. </p><h2>Montreal rental breakdown</h2><p> Here's how much it costs to rent an average unfurnished one-bedroom in November 2024, along with the minimum salary needed to stay within budget: </p><ul> <li><strong>Westmount:</strong> $2,021 average rent; $69,291 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Verdun:</strong> $1,973 average rent; $67,646 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Saint-Henri:</strong> $1,943 average rent; $66,617 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Downtown:</strong> $1,922 average rent; $65,897 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Plateau-Mont-Royal:</strong> $1,844 average rent; $63,223 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Hochelaga-Maisonneuve:</strong> $1,599 average rent; $54,823 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Notre-Dame-de-Grâce/Côte-des-Neiges:</strong> $1,529 average rent; $52,423 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Saint-Laurent:</strong> $1,497 average rent; $51,326 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Villeray-Parc-Extension:</strong> $1,485 average rent; $50,914 minimum salary</li> <li><strong>Ahuntsic-Cartierville:</strong> $1,481 average rent; $50,777 minimum salary</li> </ul><h2>What it means for you</h2><p>If you're dreaming of living in Westmount, you'll need to earn close to $70,000 a year to comfortably afford an average one-bedroom. But there are plenty of more affordable options in areas like Ahuntsic-Cartierville or Villeray-Parc-Extension, where the cost of living is significantly lower.</p><p>Interestingly, this month's report also revealed that rents for furnished and unfurnished one-bedroom apartments in Montreal have levelled out at the same average price of $1,729. That's a rare balance, so if you're on the hunt for a furnished unit, now might be a good time to jump in.</p><p>For those looking for even cheaper rents, keep an eye on Hochelaga-Maisonneuve or the combined Notre-Dame-de-Grâce/Côte-des-Neiges area, where rents have been dropping the most.</p><p>Whether you're staying put or considering a move, November's numbers show that while rents are creeping up compared to last year, there are still budget-friendly options for every kind of renter. Just be sure to calculate your budget wisely before signing that lease!</p><p>And if you're interested in two- or three-bedroom or furnished rental averages across these regions, <a href="https://liv.rent/blog/featured/november-2024-montreal-rent-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liv.rent's November Rent Report</a> has the latest numbers for those as well. </p><p> <em>Love this?
