Best for families
The best neighbourhoods for families in Québec City
Ranked by the share of residents aged 0 to 14, among areas with at least one public school inside the boundary. Areas with fewer than 1,500 residents are left out. A school inside a neighbourhood does not guarantee a place there, so check the school board's locator with the exact address.
