I will be moving to Montreal in June this year and I am looking for apartments. Basically I will be working in JGH and I will need an apartment close by.
Few basic requirements I have.
1. Should be a high-rise with proper security etc.
2. Must have dishwasher.
3. Should have daycare centres nearby.
4. Should be in a peaceful neighborhood.
5. Should be close to parks and library.
Based on this I have zeroed in on the place marked in green in the attached map (Place Concorde). Any review of this place?
I have a friend who lives there and he's quite happy there.
ETA: You'll see that some of the units are very pricey -- they're likely the ones that are already furnished. Make sure that you look at the UNfurnished ones for a more reasonable monthly price.
ETA2: Actually, they're listed as Semi-furnished (they come with fridge, stove, etc...) and that's what they consider semi. Here you go: http://appartementsrockhill.ca/semi/...e-semi-meuble/
whoops... sorry. I moved from Montreal quite a while ago.
Anyway, I do remember seeing quite a few high-rise apartments along Decarie.
Come to think of it, my brother used to live on Cote-Des-Neiges in a "high-rise." There are quite a few around there, and that would place you very close to JGH.
I second DawnMTL. Check out Rockhill and surroundings.

The reason that I thought of Rockhill is because of the need for a dishwasher. That area is not known for its luxury apartments and the lower-end ones definitely won't have a dishwasher (or the ability to install one).
Thanks guys for your reply. I actually called up Rockhill apartment folks. They said they don't have dishwasher in their 1 br apartment. Anything bigger than that will be out of my budget. Place Concorde, which is close to it, has dishwasher in 1 br and rent is $1110. Any review of this place, anyone?
Thanks again. If you know of any other place close by within $1200 please do let me know.
I know the area quite well but not the individual apartment complexes.
Your Place Concorde looks ideally situated to working at the JGH, and i i cant find any negatives. https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=...rde+queen+mary
Very lively area,lots of bars restaurants, and shopping and close to Mount Royal Park,buses abound and a metro station close by/.

Ahhh, that's too bad about the 1 BR units at Rockhill.
It's really hard to find online reviews of apartments in Montreal -- maybe it's like that everywhere in Canada, I don't know. In the States, you can find online reviews on just about anything!
Like Jambo, I don't know that apartment complex first-hand (or even second-hand). I had actually looked at it -- not in person, only online -- when I was looking for a new home. I liked what I read, that's for certain. Also, like Jambo said, it's in a lively area, which everything very close.
It looks like a very good choice for you. Best of luck!!!
