What the numbers mean

  • Owners valued the median home at $542K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Montréal CMA MLS® Home Price Index (+22% since then), that is about $662K, close to the Montréal median of $611K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
  • 73% of households rent, above the 64% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.

How it's changing

Montréal doesn't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.

These are zone averages across all units in apartment buildings of three or more units, not a figure for Vieux-Rosemont alone, and they are not asking rents.
