De Lorimier is the quieter side of the Plateau — tree-lined streets, classic Montreal duplexes, and a family atmosphere that draws young couples and growing households. We handle these charming but tricky walk-ups every day.
De Lorimier sits on the eastern edge of the Plateau, between Papineau and Frontenac. The neighborhood is defined by its well-kept duplexes and triplexes with exterior iron staircases, quieter residential blocks compared to the bustling Saint-Denis corridor, and a growing number of young families. Streets like De Lorimier Avenue, Parthenais, and Fullum feature classic two- and three-storey walk-ups with narrow front entries. Parking is easier here than in the western Plateau, but permits are still necessary on moving day. Our crews know the staircase dimensions and alley access points that make De Lorimier moves efficient.
