Image du Jour: Tractor under Bridge

Driving though the south west of Montreal can be quite an adventure nowadays. You have to share the road with all sorts of construction vehicles, just as this one. The problem is not the sharing part. It is the waiting part. They drive about 20 km/hr. If you’re in a rush, getting stuck behind one of these…can drive you bananas. I took the creative initiative and snapped a shot. With my camera, of course :)

Hi Deya Bautista here.
A lot of people ask me by email what are the areas that I recommend investing in. It will depend on your budget but if you’re looking for an apartment near downtown, very close to old Montreal and you have a budget within $250,000 to $400,000, you can have a really nice apartment in this area.
There is a mix of construction in this area. We have building that were built about 20 years ago to. They are in the price range of $300,000 and $350,000 for 2 bedrooms, then you have the newest construction which is right behind me. Buildings that were done about 6 years ago. The units are a bit smaller, but they are still very interesting. There are 2 bedrooms with different layout, they’re going for $300,000 and $315,000. Some of them come with a parking, some of them don’t, it depends on what your needs are.
Over here what’s interesting is that if you’re working downtown, you probably won’t need a car because you have two close metros around here. One you can access by walking is Lucien L’Allier, and then there’s also another one you can access with a 5 minute ride with the bus, that is Metro Guy. Also walking distance to Old Montreal, it’s about 5 to 6 blocks from here.
The area is booming right now. There is university students, young couples, young professionals are moving in the area. Its pretty dynamic area. You have all the amenities that you need. For example, a new grocery store (a huge one) in the corner, restaurants, cafe, dry cleaning services, access to the highway.
All that we need to live downtown, you have it right here.
Take a look at it. If you have any questions or if you’d like to visit some of the properties that are available here you can always contact me at deya at mcgillrealestate dot com.
Thank you very much and I will see you next time.
