Area servedOld Montréal Real Estate
Cobblestone streets, stone buildings and river views: Old Montréal is the city’s historic birthplace and a one-of-a-kind place to live. Our office at 685 rue Saint-Maurice sits in the western part of Old Montréal, so we are neighbours first and brokers second.
Living in Old Montréal
Between Notre-Dame Basilica, Place Jacques-Cartier, rue Saint-Paul and the Old Port, the area blends heritage with restaurants, galleries and start-up offices. The Old Port waterfront offers walking paths, bike lanes and activities in every season.
Old Montréal is a protected heritage site under Québec’s Cultural Heritage Act. Exterior work is regulated, which preserves the neighbourhood’s character but means renovations need careful planning.
Property types and who they suit
Homes here are mostly lofts and condos carved out of 19th-century warehouses, stores and commercial buildings, with stone or brick walls, exposed beams and high ceilings. A few newer buildings and luxury properties round out the market.
The area appeals to architecture lovers, downtown professionals, pied-à-terre buyers and anyone who wants a lively, walkable setting.
Why work with our local brokers
