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.

What Montreal buyers say.

Buying a house in Montreal was easy thanks to Mercedes from Équipe MG. She is a knowledgeable and professional Montreal realtor who made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home or condo in MTL.
