Location and Building Overview
ALMA Quartier Latin is located at Montréal, QC H2X 1H9, in the heart of the city’s historic Latin Quarter. The building sits within walking distance of multiple metro stations, shops, restaurants, and university campuses. The property itself is a purpose-built student residence offering one-bedroom and two-bedroom unit types. On-site amenities include a rooftop terrace and a patio area, and the surrounding neighbourhood is dense with dining and retail options.
The residence is available for move-in from 1 September 2026. Rent ranges from 1,099 CAD to 1,599 CAD per month, depending on unit type and floor plan. No deposit amount is specified in the listing, so you should confirm payment terms directly with the operator.
Who Is This Residence For?
ALMA Quartier Latin suits students who prioritise a central location and easy access to public transit. The building is close to several universities in downtown Montreal, including Concordia University, making it a convenient base for classes, libraries, and campus life. If you want to be able to walk or take a short metro ride to most daily needs, this residence is a strong candidate.
The rooftop and patio provide outdoor space within the building, which is a plus for students who want a place to relax or socialise without leaving the property. The unit types (one-bedroom and two-bedroom) mean you can choose between living alone or with a roommate. Two-bedroom units are typically more affordable per person, so this residence works for students who want to split costs while still having a shared living space managed by a professional operator.
The property tags also include “Restaurants & Shops”, indicating that the immediate area is lively and convenient for errands and dining out. If you prefer an urban setting with everything within walking distance, this is a suitable choice.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
The minimum rent at ALMA Quartier Latin (1,099 CAD) is nearly double the city’s lowest price for a student property, which starts at 610 CAD per month. Budget-conscious students will find cheaper options elsewhere in Montreal, particularly in neighbourhoods further from downtown or in older buildings. If your budget is tight, this residence may not be the most cost-effective choice.
Additionally, the property’s rating metrics are not recorded on the listing platform, and the only reviews available come from Google (three reviews, all 5-star). While the feedback is positive, the small sample size means you should verify conditions yourself. Prospective residents who prefer a property with a larger body of verified reviews may want to compare.
Students who need a short-term lease or a move-in date before September 2026 will need to look elsewhere, as the earliest availability is 1 September 2026. No minimum lease length is specified, but you should confirm the lease terms with the operator.
Resident Feedback
Two Google reviews are available for this property. Both rate it 5 out of 5.
Review by Nicole (5 stars):
“Great location. Close to the metro, shops, and universities, which makes getting around super easy. The building is clean, the amenities are solid, and the staff are always helpful. It’s a convenient spot for students.”
Review by Elliot Borer (5 stars):
“Great management and staff for the property. A great place to stay in the city, close to everything you would need.”
Both reviewers highlight the location and the helpfulness of staff. Cleanliness and amenities are also mentioned positively. There is no critical feedback among the three reviews, but note that the sample is very small. Overall, residents seem satisfied with the convenience and management.
Price in Context
The city of Montreal has student housing options starting from 610 CAD per month across eight properties listed on the same platform. ALMA Quartier Latin’s minimum price of 1,099 CAD is significantly above that baseline. The maximum price of 1,599 CAD places it in the upper range for student residences in Montreal.
To give a rough comparison: the difference between the city’s starting price (610 CAD) and this property’s cheapest room is about 489 CAD per month. Over a 12-month lease, that gap exceeds 5,800 CAD. For students prioritising cost, the premium for ALMA Quartier Latin should be weighed against the location and amenities.
Prices are indicative and should be confirmed with the operator at the time of booking.
Choosing Between 1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom
ALMA Quartier Latin offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom unit types. The two-bedroom option is likely to be more budget-friendly when split between two occupants, reducing the per-person cost compared to renting a one-bedroom alone. However, the exact price difference between unit types is not broken out in the available data. You should ask the operator what the price range covers and whether two-bedroom units are priced per room or per unit.
A one-bedroom offers full privacy for a single resident or a couple, while a two-bedroom works well for students who want a roommate and are comfortable sharing common areas. Both unit types are furnished and come with the building’s amenities.
When to Book
The earliest move-in date is 1 September 2026. For international students or those arriving for the fall semester, this timing aligns with typical academic calendars in Canada. Since the residence has a limited number of units (only two unit types) and is located in a popular neighbourhood, early booking is advisable to secure availability.
If you are planning to move in for the winter or spring semester, check with the operator whether leases can start after September. No other availability dates are provided in the listing, so direct inquiry is necessary.
