Located on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River at the mouth of the Rivière du Sud, Montmagny is a town of approximately 11,000 inhabitants whose territory stretches from east to west along the river and ends at the foot of the Appalachians to the south. Founded in 1646, the city developed thanks to agriculture, then industrialized in the 19th century. Known as the Accordion Capital and the White Goose Capital, Montmagny preserves a rich historical heritage with its seigneurial manors and ancestral homes.

Montmagny offers an authentic living environment that combines manufacturing tradition and affordable quality of life. The industrial sector, a pillar of the local economy, focuses on wood processing, furniture, metalworking, textiles, and agri-food, with a recognized specialty in metal storage systems. Montmagny residents enjoy a direct connection to their natural heritage thanks to the wharf providing access to Isle-aux-Grues, the migratory bird sanctuary, and the spectacular tides that transform the landscape of the Sud River falls. Cultural life comes alive around the Carrefour mondial de l’accordéon in September and the Festival de l’Oie Blanche in October, while the downtown area retains its historic character with several heritage buildings.

The Montmagny real estate market has recently experienced remarkable growth, ranking among the strongest in the province. This boom reflects a renewed interest in the municipality, where properties remain very affordable with prices well below the Quebec average. The local market mainly offers traditional single-family homes, several income properties, and particularly sought-after properties with river views. This affordability, combined with the proximity of Lévis, located less than 40 minutes away, is attracting more and more young families and teleworkers looking for a peaceful and affordable environment while remaining connected to the region’s urban centers.
