APARTMENTS & REAL ESTATE

The area’s apartments are not particularly luxurious bunch. First of all, with the exception of certain blocks where beautiful row houses are well maintained, most of the area consists of rental buildings whose main clientele is McGill University’s students and researchers. Translation: their maintenance is minimal. Interestingly, the rents are not.

In other words, don’t head here expecting to find a spacious, inexpensive, clean and well-maintained retnal apartment. But if you’re going to be studying/working at McGill (or anywhere downtown), and don’t mind paying a little extra and saving yourself some commuting time, McGill Ghetto is an area well worth considering.
