Montréal-Est is a small municipality separate from the City of Montreal, surrounded by the Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles borough and Mercier. Much of its territory is occupied by industrial and petrochemical facilities, while its residential neighbourhoods are near the river.

You will find single-family and semi-detached homes, duplexes and some apartment buildings. Prices are among the most accessible on the island.

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.
