3½ à Ste-Foy, Université Laval

No matter what type of character home buyers prefer in a neighbourhood, Cité Universitaire is a good option. Cité Universitaire is reasonably quiet overall, as the streets are generally quite tranquil, although that is not the case closer to the railway line, Autoroute Henri-IV or Autoroute Charest. However, public green spaces, like Jardin botanique Roger-Van den Hende and Parc Saint-Yves, are especially well-spread out and there are approximately 40 of them close by for residents to unwind in, resulting in them being easy to get to from the majority of locations within this area. Lastly, although the ambience is not the liveliest in this part of Québec, its busier streets are still quite dynamic, and with its a few bars, there are options for nighttime activities.
