Answer 1

The south shore is kind of far by public transportation. Depending on where you will be working would be a big factor in where you want to live. Downtown is nice, but can be kind of expensive depending on where you live. NDG and Verdun still make downtown accessible easily by bus or metro, and are a bit cheaper, while still being nice areas. East Montreal can be cheap, depending on the area. West of Montreal, aka The West Island, is nice, but you will need a car or need to be close to a major bus route in order to get downtown easily. Depending on where you are in the West Island, rent/house prices vary. Dorval is very nice and has decent rent prices (I know because I live there), while still making it easy to get downtown by bus or train.

It really depends on where you'll be working and your budget for rent/houses.

Good luck and welcome to Montreal. You'll LOVE it here! :)
