Griffintown Montreal: Condo Living & Moving Guide

The Condo Market in Griffintown

Griffintown has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past decade. Once an industrial zone near the Lachine Canal, it's now packed with modern condo towers. Purchase prices range from $350,000 for a studio to $700,000+ for a two-bedroom unit. Rentals sit around $1,500–$1,900 for a one-bedroom and $2,000–$2,800 for a two-bedroom.

The neighborhood attracts young professionals who want walkable access to downtown, the canal bike path, and the growing restaurant scene along Notre-Dame and Wellington streets.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Griffintown living revolves around the Lachine Canal. Residents jog, cycle, and paddleboard here year-round. The Atwater Market is steps away, offering fresh produce and artisanal goods. Dining options have exploded — from Foxy and Grinder to the many terrasses that line the canal in summer.

Transit access is decent via the Lucien-L'Allier station and several bus routes, though a car can be helpful for bigger grocery runs since full-size supermarkets are limited within the neighborhood itself.

Condo Moving Tips

Moving into a Griffintown condo means dealing with building management. Most towers require you to book the freight elevator 2–4 weeks in advance, provide proof of moving insurance, and pay a refundable deposit of $200–$500. Moving hours are typically restricted to 8 AM–5 PM on weekdays.
