The Le Roc Fleuri is one of Downtown Montreal's most prestigious condo building. There may be strong arguments for a few other addresses but it would be fair to say that Le Roc Fleuri has the best all round qualities in the City. First of all, its address at 2000 Drummond is in the Golden Square Mile which is either the best or second best area in the city after the Old Port, depending on one's priorities and keeping in mind that both areas are very different from one another. The Golden Square Mile is close to the Mountain and its huge park. It is right in the middle of Montreal's CBD (Central Business District) and equidistant from its two main academic establishments, McGill and Concordia Universities. It is also right about the Green line and next to the best part of the Underground city which is great in winter as almost all of downtown can be reached using the tunnels. The building's architercural features are very elegant and traditionnal which will help the building age gracefully. It has a very distinctive curved bay window on its South East side overlooking De Maisonneuve boulevard which makes it impossible not to identify as a visual marker in the City. The units in Le Roc Fleuri are usually at least 1100 square feet (100 square meters) and all of them were designed as two bedroom two bathroom condos. They are usually priced around $650 per square foot which is more than reasonable for a building with these amenities. Surrounding buildings are usually small so many of the condos in Le Roc Fleuri have decent to fatastic views depending on the floor of course. The only exception would be those on the Drummond side below the 11th floor. some of the units have balconies but most do not. The building's amenities aren't the best in the city but they should cover the wants and needs of the overwhelming majority of downtown dwellers. The Le Roc Fleuri has an indoor pool and a hot tub, a huge outdoor terrace, a good size gym, a party room, an elegant lobby with a 24/7 drooman service. There is guest parking and underground parking for the building's residents. Le Roc Fleuri is located just a few minutes away from Downtown Montreal's party district which is centered around Crescent street. There is also a lot of fine dining in the neighbourhood on Stanley, Peel, Sherbrooke, De Maisonneuve and Mountain. This is also the heart of the city's racing spirit as this is where the Grand Prix festival is held during the first or second week of June for the Canadian Formula One Grand Prix. PROS: Hardwood floors, marble and granite countertops and excellent insulation make the units excellent value for money compared with only slighly more recent contructions. It is hard to beat Le Roc Fleuri in terms of sheer prestige though. Excellent and very convenient location from which to access the entire city and nearby universities. Secure building, bright units, good amenities and excellent views, especially towards the South West and the North West which happen to be the sunniest sides in Montreal. CONS: Some units have poor views and light on the Drummond side which is fine so long as one does not overpay. The building is so nice, it can look a little pretentious. No grocery store within a 5 minute walk which can be a little irritating in the City. The building is a little short on private balconies which for condos this size is a little disappointing.
