Buying in Hampstead
Buying a property in Hampstead.
A small independent town in the heart of the island, Hampstead offers peaceful streets, large homes and a garden-city setting.
The local market
The Hampstead real estate market.
Hampstead is a municipality separate from the City of Montreal, surrounded by Côte-Saint-Luc and the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough. Designed on garden-city principles, it stands out for its curving streets, parks and English-style homes.
Most properties are single-family homes, often spacious and on attractive lots, with a few apartment buildings and condos on the edges. Supply is limited, which makes every comparison important.
