Moving to Westmount: What to Expect & What It Costs

Property Values & Rental Costs

Westmount is an independent municipality encircled by Montreal and one of Canada's wealthiest communities. Detached homes on Upper Westmount's tree-lined avenues routinely sell for $2M–$5M+, while condos in buildings along Sherbrooke start around $500,000. Rentals are available but pricey — a two-bedroom apartment typically runs $2,200–$3,500 per month.

Lower Westmount, closer to the Ville-Marie border, offers slightly more accessible pricing and a mix of Victorian-era townhomes and smaller apartment buildings.

Lifestyle & Community

Westmount offers a village-within-a-city atmosphere. Greene Avenue and Sherbrooke Street provide boutique shopping, fine dining, and essential services. Westmount Park features a historic library, sports fields, and a wading pool, while Summit Park at the top of the hill offers panoramic views of downtown Montreal and the St. Lawrence River.

Schools like Selwyn House, The Study, and ECS are among the province's most prestigious. The Atwater metro station sits at Westmount's eastern edge, and several bus routes serve the area.

Moving Logistics in Westmount

Westmount's municipal bylaws require moving permits and impose strict rules on truck sizes and hours of operation. Many streets in Upper Westmount are narrow and steep, requiring experienced drivers. If you're moving into a condo building, expect elevator booking requirements and insurance deposits similar to downtown towers.
