One of the oldest neighbourhoods in Montreal, Westmount lies within walking distance of downtown Montreal, yet remains free of the hustle and bustle. Westmount is a distinctive city comprised of residents of diverse backgrounds and languages, with everyone benefiting from an intimate neighborhood quality and a sense of community. Property owners and architects know that a building in Westmount represents a major investment. The high property values are, in part, the result of careful preservation of the heritage buildings.
Residents benefit from a choice of public and private schools as well as an excellent public library, the city’s own public security force, a YMCA, a public greenhouse, indoor and outdoor skating rinks, grass playing fields and community centres.
The Westmount Architectural and Planning Commission use special guidelines in order to preserve and enhance Westmount's distinctive character. Before you start a renovation project, check Westmount’s special zoning regulations!
