It really depends on what kind of lifestyle you have and are looking for.
If you like nightlife / youth / trendiness. I'd look in the mile-end which is still somewhat affordable and close to downtown (north of downtown). Mostly apartments here, lots of young people.
The plateau is a neighborhood one step closer to downtown but is more expensive. Mostly apartments here, lots of young people.
If you're looking to rent a house, and want a more quiet neighborhood then you're going to have to go a bit farther away:
Verdun, St-Henri and Point Saint Charles are quiet neighborhoods undergoing gentrification, close enough to downtown. Rent is affordable, lots of working class people.
Notre-Dame-de Grace (NDG) is a working class/family area, is medium-affordable but you're more reliant on buses as there are no metro stations.
Equally, on the north side are Ahuntsic and St-Laurent which are quiet, family & working class areas (a little bit far from downtown, but metro accessible and affordable).
