Here’s how much you’ll pay for rent in these 10 popular Montreal neighbourhoods in 2025

Looking to rent an apartment in Montreal? You better pick your neighbourhood wisely.

Liv.rent’s monthly Montreal Rent Report for February 2025 for February 2025 just dropped, unveiling a striking spread of rental prices across 10 of the city’s hippest neighborhoods.

City-wide, one-bedroom unfurnished apartments average $1,746 (up 0.61%), while furnished units dip to $1,714 (down 0.46%). Yet, the gap is stark: a whopping $511/month separates the priciest and cheapest Montreal areas on the list. We’re still paying a lot less than Toronto or Vancouver, but location can make or break your budget.

Liv.rent’s reports draw from their listings and manual data collection — covering basement suites, apartments, condos, townhouses, and houses across various areas.
