How do I find a place to live in Montreal?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"When looking for a place to live in Montreal, it is important to consider your budget, desired location, and the type of housing you are looking for. Start by researching different neighbourhoods in Montreal to find one that fits your needs. You can also search online for rental listings, or contact a real estate agent to help you find a place. Additionally, you can look for rental postings on websites such as Kijiji or Craigslist. Once you have found a place that meets your criteria, you can contact the landlord or property manager to arrange a viewing," remarked another expat who made the move to Montreal, Canada.
"We are in our 4th home in 8 years, moving from rental to rental until buying 5 years ago. Our neighborhood was really decided upon by the schools available to us with Quebec's language laws. If we could use any schools we would live more downtown rather than in the burbs," explained one expat living in Montreal, Canada.
