Saint-Roch: what to know before moving
Latest source review: September 27, 2026. Individual access dates appear below.
Buildings
In the Saint-Roch quartier in 2021, 76.2% of households rented. Of its 5,310 occupied private dwellings, only 0.6% were single-detached houses and 70.8% were apartments in buildings under five storeys; 13.5% had been built after 2011.[1]
Buildings
In 2021, 73.6% of households in La Cité-Limoilou were tenants, compared with 48.8% citywide. The borough had 63,685 private households, averaging 1.7 people.[2][3]
Heritage
The City describes La Cité-Limoilou's streetscape as ranging from post-war houses and narrow working-class faubourgs to three-storey brick buildings with wrought-iron staircases and galleries.[4]
Street access
In 2026, rue du Parvis is pedestrian at all times between boulevard Charest Est and rue Saint-Joseph Est, from early May to October 31.[5]
Snow removal
On rue Saint-Joseph and rue Saint-Vallier Est, the snow-removal parking ban runs from midnight to 7 a.m. when the orange flashing lights are on, rather than from 10 p.m. as on most La Cité-Limoilou streets.[6]
Snow removal
Flashing lights are installed on every street in La Cité-Limoilou. When active, the usual parking-ban window is 10 p.m.–7 a.m.; designated streets begin at midnight and daytime sectors use 8 a.m.–4 p.m. For alerts, text NEIGE to 64123, follow the reply, then select NEIGE1.[6][7]
Parking
Québec City residents can borrow moving sawhorses free of charge through 311, requesting them at least 48 hours (two business days) ahead and setting them up 24 hours before with the intended dates and times. These citizen-installed signs do not create an enforceable parking reservation.[8][9]
Permit
In La Cité-Limoilou, sawhorses placed in a zone where parking is regulated also require a roadway occupation authorization from the City's traffic and transportation officer, reachable at 418 641-6314.[9]

How these figures were produced
- Hypothetical Saint-Roch → Limoilou example: an input distance of 2.0 km and duration of 4 min. Actual addresses can produce a different route.
- 1 bedroom: one bedroom set, a sofa and armchair, a dining set for four and 25 boxes (463 cu ft, 2,091 lb).
- Another Quebec City neighbourhood guide used in this example: Limoilou.
- Stairs and elevators are counted at the pickup address in this neighbourhood; delivery is ground floor unless the column says both addresses.
- The model adds half an hour per flight of stairs, scaled by volume and capped at 3 hours, and 0.2 h of elevator waiting per address.
- The crew is what the model assigns: it grows with volume, weight and the number of items of 150 lb or more.
- Neutral scenario with no booking date, postal-zone or capacity adjustment. Your selected date, addresses and services can change the quote.
- Pricing version moving-freight-tax-ca-20260810-v2, captured 2026-09-27. Moving base amounts are in CAD before tax, with upward rounding in $25 increments.

Saint-Roch moving questions
1
Do the City’s sawhorses stop other cars from parking?
Sawhorses put up by a resident have no legal force: the City states that no ticket can legally be issued to a vehicle parked in the space they mark off.
2
How many sawhorses can I borrow, and where do they go?
A loan is limited to three sawhorses, or six when a move requires no-parking zones at two addresses. They go on the sidewalk or the property, not in the street, and may cover no more than three parking spaces (about 20 m).
3
What happens to my resident parking vignette when I move?
If you remain eligible in a resident-vignette zone after moving, provide proof of the new address; for a different covered zone, also return the old vignette. The exchange is free. The City may cancel a vignette if its file is not updated within 30 days of the move.
4
What does a towed car cost during snow removal?
Towing or moving a car parked illegally during a snow-removal operation costs $112, plus the ticket. Pound storage is $23 per day for vehicles taken from the arterial network. The Info-Remorquage tool or 311 helps locate a towed car.
5
What does a 2-bedroom move from Saint-Roch cost in your pricing model?
For the example assuming 2.0 km to Limoilou, $725 on Plus with ground-floor access, $850 with elevators at both addresses and $1,400 with two flights of pickup stairs, in CAD before tax. Your move's details can change the quote.
6
How many movers does a move out of Saint-Roch need?
The model assigns 3 movers to the studio inventory ($575) and 4 to the 3-bedroom inventory ($900), in CAD before tax, for this ground-floor example assuming 2.0 km to Limoilou.
7
Which trip did you use to price a move from Saint-Roch?
A hypothetical scenario toward Limoilou, using 2.0 km and 4 min as calculation inputs. These assumptions illustrate the model; confirm the actual route and duration for the selected addresses.
