Sainte-Foy: what to know before moving

Latest source review: September 27, 2026. Individual access dates appear below.

  • Buildings

    In the Cité-Universitaire quartier of Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge in 2021, 74.5% of households rented. Of its 10,325 occupied private dwellings, 55.6% were apartments in buildings under five storeys and 11.0% single-detached houses; 15.5% dated from after 2011.[1]

  • Households

    In 2021, 33.9% of Cité-Universitaire residents were under 25 (city: 25.1%), and 53.5% of the quartier's households were one person.[1]

  • Buildings

    Tenancy varies across Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge quartiers: in 2021, tenants made up 74.5% of households in Cité-Universitaire, 64.0% in Plateau, 55.1% in Saint-Louis and 47.5% in Pointe-de-Sainte-Foy (city: 48.8%).[2][3][4][1]

  • Parking

    Resident street-parking permits (vignettes) exist in only three boroughs: La Cité-Limoilou, Les Rivières and Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge. A first request must be made in person at a borough office.[5]

  • Parking

    In Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge, resident street-parking vignettes are limited to two per address.[6]

  • Snow removal

    During snow removal in Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge, parking is banned 9 p.m.–7 a.m. Where orange lights are active, the window is 10 p.m.–7 a.m., or midnight–7 a.m. on Myrand, Maguire and chemin Sainte-Foy. For alerts, text NEIGE to 64123, follow the reply, then select NEIGE3.[7][8]

  • Student residence

    Université Laval residence leases that start in the fall run eight months, from September 1 to April 30, and end on May 1 at 11 a.m. Residents can stay on with a summer rental agreement from May 1 to mid-August.[9][10]

  • Bulky items

    The Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge borough's écocentre, the Écocentre de l'Hêtrière, is at 3381, rue de l'Hêtrière.[11]

What this means for your move

  • Leaving a Université Laval residence in spring? Fall leases end on May 1 at 11 a.m., so the room must be empty by then.[9][10]
  • Moving into a borough with resident vignettes? A first request is made in person at a borough office, and Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge allows two per address.[5][6]

1 bedroom4$725$775$1,050
2 bedrooms4$775$900$1,450

How these figures were produced

  • Hypothetical Sainte-Foy → Saint-Roch example: an input distance of 10.1 km and duration of 13 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: Saint-Roch.
  • 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.

Where do I park when moving into a Laval residence?

Université Laval campus parking is paid 24/7, with designated free 15- or 30-minute zones. The residence parking page directs short-term accommodation arrivals to the 30-minute zones in front of Parent; full-time students should confirm the instructions for their move-in.

4

What can I bring to the écocentre?
