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.
