I live in Lower Mount Royal. Very liveable, very walkable. If you're looking for something similar to the lifestyle of Kits, this is a good choice. I managed to buy a 3 bedroom condo (a new conversion) for $275,000.

Some key stats:

Pop: 3222 (2009)
Area: unknown (not very big - 3 x 8 city blocks)
Housing Mix: 94% apartment dwellings; 3.4% row houses; 1.2% semidetached; 1.2% single detached - mix of rental and owner-occupied
Walkscore 93% (my address)

The main street is 17th Avenue SW
