Montreal Bits » Rental Apartment Buildings

Renting in Montreal is much more affordable than in most other large North American cities. Perhaps this explains the popularity of renting: almost 60% of Montreal residents rent rather than own their apartments.

Unlike in New York, high-rise apartment buildings do not typically qualify as luxury housing: many university students (Concordia, McGill, UQAM) and senior citizens live in high-rises. Unless the building is advertised as "luxury" (and sometimes despite such a characterization), the list of amenities and services is often limited. Larger buildings often offer indoor pools, however. Underground parking garages are also relatively common. A typical ceiling height in a rental high-rise is a conservative 8'. Older apartments and those in low-rise buildings often have higher ceilings (9' and 9'6" are typical).

Montréalers have a very peculiar way of referring to apartment layouts. Generally, to translate from the "normal" system (studio, 1BR, 2BR, etc) one has to think about the number of rooms in the apartment, including kitchen (if it's an eat-in kitchen), but counting bathroom as ½ of a room. The result is roughly as follows: 1½=studio, 2½=studio with an eat-in kitchen; 3½=1-bedroom, 4½=2-bedroom, etc.
