Lower Mount Royal is the transitional district between Beltline density and the established Mount Royal residential streets above 17 Avenue. The housing mix is varied, character apartment buildings, low-rise condos, and a meaningful detached component on the upper streets.

For buyers wanting inner-city walkability without committing to a high-rise condo, Lower Mount Royal offers genuine variety. Detached pricing on the upper streets approaches Mount Royal proper.

School catchment and education

Inner-city public catchments.

Lifestyle and amenities

17 Avenue retail, Beltline restaurants, walking distance to downtown.

Frequently asked questions
