Montreal is set out here as 18 districts and neighbouring places, and 6 of them sit within 5 km of the centre. The closest is Mile End. The list reaches 13.4 km out, as far as Saint-Hubert.
Within 5 km of the middle: Mile End, Outremont, Parc-Extension, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Snowdon and Saint-Henri. These are the ones a stay can be walked out of.
Further out, between 10 and 13 km, lie Duvernay, Laval, Chomedey and Saint-Hubert. What they give back for the distance is usually space, and sometimes price, although no price figures sit behind this page.
The largest by population is Laval, with about 438,366 residents.
Each place here is a populated area recorded below city level, attached to Montreal when it falls within 25 km of the city centre. 18 of them qualified. The order is distance from the centre and nothing else.
This says where the districts are, not which one is better. It is not a list of administrative boundaries either: coverage below city level is uneven between countries, so there may be districts this page cannot name. No rent, noise or safety figures exist in this programme yet, and none are implied here.

Questions
Which part of Montreal is most central?
Mile End sits closest to the centre of the 18 places named here, and 6 of them are within 5 km. The full distances are in the table, so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Does this say which district is best?
No. It says where each one is and how big it is. Rent, noise and safety are what would decide better, and this programme has no measured source for any of them yet.
Are these all the districts of Montreal?
Not necessarily. The places come from a global gazetteer whose coverage below city level differs from country to country, so this is what can be named with a source behind it rather than a complete list.
