Is the Plateau-Mont-Royal right for you?

The Plateau suits those who want to live without relying on a car, close to parks and shops. The buildings are often a century old, so a thorough inspection of the structure, masonry, plumbing and electrical is essential. For condos, whether divided or undivided co-ownership, check the form of co-ownership and what it means for financing. If you are buying an occupied plex, find out about the existing leases and the tenants' rights.
