La Nouvelle-Beauce County blends wide-open Beauce farmland with quick connectivity to city life, thanks to easy commutes toward Québec and Lévis. Centered around Sainte‑Marie, the county’s river valley setting invites four-season living—think peaceful streets, friendly local markets, and festivals that celebrate maple season and agricultural roots.
Weekends are effortless to fill. Families flock to the year‑round attractions at Woodooliparc in Scott, while animal lovers make the short trip to Miller Zoo in Frampton. Nature is close at hand along the Chaudière River and in regional green spaces, with cycling, cross‑country skiing, and snowmobiling all part of the local routine. Day trips are simple, and neighboring Robert-Cliche County and Lotbinière County broaden your options for hiking, farm visits, and scenic drives.
Education is a strong suit. The Centre de services scolaire de la Beauce‑Etchemin runs well-regarded elementary and secondary schools across the county, including programs in Sainte‑Marie and Scott. For post‑secondary pathways, the Sainte‑Marie study center of Cégep Beauce‑Appalaches connects students to college programs and continuing education through the Cégep Beauce‑Appalaches network. Daily needs are covered by local clinics, sports complexes, and small businesses, while larger retail and specialized care are a short hop toward the bridges to the north shore.
