Real estate in Westmount
Westmount is one of the most prestigious municipalities on the Island of Montreal: heritage homes, tree-lined streets on the slopes of Mount Royal, and a high-end real estate market. Upscale single-family homes and prestige condos attract an established clientele.

Which way is the market leaning in Westmount?
Westmount is an institution: Greene Avenue, Westmount Park and its library, Victorian and Tudor homes clinging to the mountainside, the Summit woods. It’s the prestige address par excellence, with a long-established anglophone tradition and a keen sense of heritage. You don’t just buy a house here—you buy a piece of history and an irreplaceable location. Supply is scarce and demand is as international as it is local. It’s a market of its own, with its own rules, and it withstands cycles better than others.
