What is the neighborhood atmosphere you are looking for?

Is the area well served by public transport?

Always keeping in mind, the living environment, you are looking for, you can identify your main points of interest on a city map. Not all Montreal boroughs are well served by public transit. This is why it is essential to ask yourself about the places you will frequent most and see if they will be easy access. For example, is your workplace easily accessible? And if you plan to go by car, will traffic be a frustrating part of your daily life?

What is interesting about the Rosemont district is that it is very well served by public transport. Indeed, it has four metro stations, Rosemont, Beaubien, Pie-IX and Viau.

What about the people who live in the neighborhood?

A point that is often forgotten and idealized is the neighbors of your future property. It is important to consider the people who live in this neighborhood. Do they maintain their property well? Do you feel safe when you walk? With these things in mind, you can then think about talking to the neighbors if the opportunity arises. In addition, if you currently own a car, ask yourself if the streets in your neighborhood prohibit parking. These are all valid and important questions to ask. Rosemont neighborhood is inhabited by many communities who are all looking to help each other, promoting safe and very residential as a neighborhood, the streets practically belong to children. It’s the perfect neighborhood if you plan of raising a family.

What is the environment of the neighborhood?

It is not uncommon that once installed in their new home, homeowners discover that their environment is far from what was hoped for. When you go to the premises of the desired property, it is important to inform yourself and analyze the desired neighborhood taking into account elements such as noise and odors when visiting the property. This way you will be at peace once the transaction is completed. As for the Rosemont borough, it is a municipality that promotes harmony among citizens and that relies on tranquility, while enacting regulations that go in the same direction.

Are there any peculiarities to the properties in this neighborhood?

Built more recently than the Plateau Mont-Royal, the Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough offers more space, since the properties have a real basement and not a service cellar. This can be particularly interesting for homeowners who need extra living or storage space. It is therefore important to learn about the properties in a neighborhood and to try to find out their specifics before buying. Indeed, each borough of Montreal has its own particularities and it is important to inform yourself in order to be educated on the neighborhood and plan the amounts necessary to put in after the inspection.

Do you find that there is enough green space?

You should also ask yourself if it is important for you to be surrounded by green spaces.

And, if Rosemont is surrounded by several parks, it is especially coveted to house one of the largest parks in Montreal, Maisonneuve Park. However, the area’s must-see attraction remains the Botanical Garden, a world-famous attraction of Montreal.

Finally, the reality is that Montreal is a city in constant change and that certain neighborhoods are reinventing themselves in their own way by optimizing public transportation services, improving the quality of life, by offering more and more green spaces to its inhabitants. This is we advise you to collect all possible elements in order to be an informed buyer. Going to physically visit the places and questioning the people who live there will help you make a good decision. Don’t be shy to ask questions! The owner has a legal obligation to answer it as honestly as possible. Sometimes we think we know a neighborhood well, but we still have to do the work of surveying the streets and seeing the situation up close, and this, objectively. Now that the boroughs are competing with each other to improve the general quality of life of their residents, it can make decision-making more difficult.
