Overview & Location
Parc Cite is a student housing property located at Montréal, QC H2X 2H5, Canada. It sits in the heart of Montreal, within walking distance of Concordia University’s downtown campuses. The building offers studio, private room, and one-bedroom units on monthly contracts. With a Google rating of 4.3 from 103 reviews, it maintains a solid reputation among current and former residents. The location is described as “super convenient, especially for students” by one reviewer, and the surrounding area provides access to shops, restaurants, and public transit.
Who This Residence Suits
Parc Cite works well for students who prioritise a central Montreal location and a balance between community amenities and independent living. The building includes a game room, study area, and laundry facility, which makes it suitable for students who want on-site social and study spaces without leaving the building. The “no visa, no pay” policy also benefits international students who need flexibility in case their visa applications are delayed or denied.
Residents who prefer a responsive management team will find value here. Multiple reviews mention staff members Samantha and Sam by name, describing them as “helpful,” “always welcoming,” and “really helpful throughout the process.” If you are someone who values friendly, accessible property staff, Parc Cite appears to deliver on that front.
The price range is broad — from 610 CAD to 1,440 CAD monthly (indicative — confirm with the operator). The starting price of 610 CAD matches the city’s from-price for student housing (based on data from the same platform), meaning it is competitively positioned at the entry level. Students on a tighter budget can still access a private room or studio at the lower end of that range, while those wanting more space or a one-bedroom unit can pay up to the higher end.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Parc Cite might not be the best fit for students who need very short leases or move-in dates that fall outside typical academic cycles. The listing does not provide a minimum lease length or an available-from date, so if you are arriving mid-semester or need a 3-month contract, you will need to verify directly with the operator.
If you prefer a fully self-contained apartment with a full kitchen and separate living area, note that unit types are limited to studio, private room, and one-bedroom. There is no mention of two-bedroom or shared apartments, so groups looking to live together might not find suitable configurations here.
Students who rely heavily on public transit should check the specific walking distance to their campus (the listing only gives a general address). While the location is central, some branches of Université de Montréal or McGill may require a bus or metro ride.

All three reviewers gave a perfect 5-star rating. The comments consistently mention staff members (Sam and Samantha) as positive factors. The phrase “well-maintained” appears in two reviews, and “safe” is mentioned once. The third review notes satisfaction with amenities relative to the price. No negative reviews are present in the provided data, but the sample size is small.
Price Positioning vs City From-Price
The city of Montreal has a from-price of 610 CAD per month across 8 student housing properties listed on the same platform. Parc Cite’s minimum price is exactly that: 610 CAD monthly. This places it at the entry-level price point for the city. The maximum price of 1,440 CAD is higher than many other properties; however, this likely reflects larger or more premium units such as one-bedroom apartments with en-suite bathrooms.
When comparing, remember that all prices are indicative — confirm with the operator. The broad range (610–1,440 CAD) gives flexibility: budget-conscious students can choose lower-cost unit types (e.g., a shared private room or compact studio), while those who want more space and privacy can pay more. The deposit amount is not listed, so factor that into your budget planning as well.
Room-Type Guidance
The property offers three unit types: studio, private room, and one-bedroom.
- Studio: Typically a single room with a kitchenette and private bathroom. Suitable for one person who values complete privacy and doesn’t need separate living/sleeping areas.
- Private room: Likely a bedroom within a shared apartment (common areas shared with other tenants). Cheaper than a studio but requires sharing kitchen and living space. Best for students who are comfortable with flatmates and want the lowest cost.
- One-bedroom: A self-contained unit with a separate bedroom, living area, and full kitchen. Most expensive option. Ideal for couples or students who need a quiet study environment separate from their sleeping area.
Without a floor plan or specific pricing per unit type, it’s best to contact the operator to understand which unit falls into which price bracket. Based on typical market patterns, the 610 CAD minimum likely corresponds to a private room in a shared unit, while the 1,440 CAD maximum corresponds to a one-bedroom or a premium studio.
Booking Timing
The listing does not specify an “available from” date. For the 2026-2027 academic year, most student housing in Montreal begins leasing in the spring for September move-ins. If you are planning for the 2026-2027 school year, start researching in early 2026 to secure the unit type and price you prefer. Because the property has a “no visa, no pay” policy, international students can book earlier without fear of losing money if their visa is not approved.
Given the limited number of unit types and the competitive entry price, units at the lower end of the range may sell out first. If you need a studio or private room at the 610 CAD level, consider inquiring as early as possible.
