Which way is the market leaning in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal?
The Plateau is Montreal’s postcard image: spiral staircases, colorful triplexes, La Fontaine Park, Mont-Royal Avenue, and Saint-Denis Street. A neighborhood of creatives, students, and young professionals who wouldn’t want to live anywhere else — density is a way of life here, not a constraint. The scarcity of parking and large units makes it a connoisseur’s market. You don’t buy the Plateau for space, you buy it for its soul. It’s a sector where a good property always sells, even when the market slows down.
