Moving to Côte-des-Neiges: Choose the Bust A Move teams

A Unique Neighborhood, A Service to Match

Côte-des-Neiges is much more than just a Montreal neighborhood. It is a true microcosm where over 100 different ethnic communities live side by side, where prestigious institutions meet multicultural local businesses, and where history meets modernity. Nestled between the western slope of Mount Royal and the Décarie Expressway, this densely populated sector has an identity all its own.

Bust A Move Moving has been operating in Côte-des-Neiges for over 15 years. We know this neighborhood intimately: its busy arteries, quiet side streets, high-rise buildings, educational institutions, and specific logistical challenges. Our team has completed hundreds of moves here, from small student studios near UdeM to large residences in the "Haut de la Côte."

Local Knowledge: Our Primary Asset

Our expertise covers the entire neighborhood and its many faces:

The University Sector: Centered around the mountain campus including Université de Montréal (UdeM), HEC Montréal, and Polytechnique Montréal, particularly on Édouard-Montpetit Boulevard and Côte-Sainte-Catherine Road. This sector has a high student population and consistents moving activity, especially at the end of the academic year.

Secondary Axes : Including Victoria Avenue, Queen Mary Road, Côte-Sainte-Catherine Road, and residential side streets like Plamondon, Lacombe, and the areas bordering Van Horne.

Distinct Sectors : Featuring the Haut de la Côte south of Côte-Sainte-Catherine Road, known for more affluent properties, and the Bas de la Côte to the north, which is denser and offers a wide variety of housing.

The Namur / De la Savane Sector: A zone in full transformation marked by new real estate developments and a rapidly changing urban landscape.

Our Movers: A Team That Knows the Neighborhood

Working in Côte-des-Neiges requires a fine-tuned understanding of the territory and its daily constraints.

Our movers know that parking can be complex on Côte-des-Neiges Road due to constant commercial traffic, and that the many high-rise buildings require rigorous planning for elevator reservations and usage. The large student population leads to well-defined peak periods (notably between May-June and August-September).

Our team also accounts for the specific traffic generated by the sector's major hospitals, such as Sainte-Justine Hospital, the Jewish General Hospital, and St. Mary’s Hospital.
