Beauport Real Estate: Quebec City's Eastern Waterfront Borough

Beauport is Quebec City's eastern borough, stretching along the St. Lawrence River with waterfront parks, established residential neighbourhoods, and convenient highway access. Often overlooked by buyers focused on central Quebec City or Sainte-Foy, Beauport offers genuine value — lower prices per square foot, good family infrastructure, and access to the whole Quebec City region.

Beauport typically runs 10–20% below Sainte-Foy and Old Quebec pricing for comparable properties. The borough has a predominantly residential character with major commercial areas along Boulevard Sainte-Anne (the main arterial highway).

Beauport Neighbourhoods

Vieux-Beauport (Old Beauport)

The historic core of the former city of Beauport, merged into Quebec City in 2002. Heritage character, older homes, good walkability near the waterfront Parc de la Chute-Montmorency. The famous Montmorency Falls are in this area — a unique local landmark.

Giffard

Suburban residential area in the western part of Beauport. Established neighbourhood with good schools. Mix of bungalows and two-storey detached homes from the 1960s–1980s. Good highway access to central Quebec City.

Loretteville Area

Northern Beauport transitioning to suburban development. More affordable than established Beauport areas. Newer construction available.

Beauport's Unique Draw — Montmorency Falls and Waterfront

Beauport is home to Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, where the Montmorency Falls (higher than Niagara Falls) cascade into the St. Lawrence. The adjacent walking trails and viewpoints make this area particularly appealing for outdoor-lifestyle buyers.

Quebec's welcome tax (droits de mutation): 0.5% on the first $52,800, 1% from $52,800 to $264,000, and 1.5% on the amount above $264,000. Quebec City applies no additional municipal surtax — unlike Montreal which adds 3% above $500,000.

On a $400,000 Beauport purchase, welcome tax is approximately $4,416 — budget for this in addition to your down payment and closing costs.

Transportation from Beauport

Highway 40 (Autoroute Jean-Lesage) runs through Beauport providing easy access to central Quebec City (15–25 minutes to Vieux-Québec depending on time of day). RTC bus service connects to the broader Quebec City transit network. Beauport is not ideal for car-free living but is well-connected by car.
