Living · Outremont · September 14, 2026
Transit, shops, nature, schools, character and prices: ten concrete reasons to choose Outremont, and where to read the reasons not to.
Ten reasons to live in Outremont, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: Mount Royal and the Université de Montréal close the south; the MIL campus, on the former rail yard, opens the north toward Parc-Extension. The Hasidic community, present for generations, is part of the neighbourhood's identity. Upper Outremont, on Mount Royal's slope (around Maplewood, Springgrove, Pagnuelo), lines up the largest properties in the neighbourhood and the island. The Laurier and Bernard avenues area, in the centre, is the liveliest, with its duplexes and handsome apartments. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Outremont guide, written by a team that sells there all year; the reasons not to live there (entry price, distance, school catchment, noise) are there too.
Every reason is a sentence from our Living in Outremont guide, written by a team that sells there all year, and the figures are those published by the APCIQ; nothing is added to make it look good. What the city does less well is also in the guide, in the "who it does not suit" section.
No city suits everyone: the entry price, the distance to work, the exact school catchment of the street, the noise of a highway or a rail line, parking. The neighbourhood guide says who Outremont suits and who it does not; our method is to say it before the visit, not after.

Mount Royal and the Université de Montréal close the south; the MIL campus, on the former rail yard, opens the north toward Parc-Extension. The Hasidic community, present for generations, is part of the neighbourhood's identity.
Outremont Park and its pond, Beaubien Park, Joyce Park and Saint-Viateur Park are the neighbourhood parks; Mount Royal (the park, the cemeteries, the lookouts) is at the end of the street. The exact school catchment varies from one street to the next: check before buying.
