What defines the area
01 The properties
The market is small and split three ways: from January to September 2026, 31 single-family homes, 17 condos and 15 income properties sold here. Condos sold at a median price of $255,000, in 19 days on average, at 102% of the asking price.
02 The Atrium building
The area takes its name from the Atrium building, built in the mid-1970s as a shopping centre, then acquired by the Québec government in 1987 and converted into offices. Today it houses the ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts.
03 Services and schools
1re Avenue brings together everyday shops. The Galeries Charlesbourg site is the subject of a redevelopment project combining housing and retail. Public schools belong to the Centre de services scolaire des Premières-Seigneuries, including École de la Fourmilière (elementary) and Polyvalente de Charlesbourg.
04 Getting around
Métrobus 801 runs along 1re Avenue and Métrobus 803 uses Boulevard de l'Atrium. The Laurentienne and Félix-Leclerc highways are close by. The tramway is to end in Charlesbourg, at the corner of 1re Avenue and 41e Rue, where a transit hub is planned. Service is scheduled for 2033.
Frequently asked questions
The Atrium area in four questions
Where is the Atrium area?
In the south of the Charlesbourg borough, around the Atrium building and 1re Avenue. “Atrium” is the name the Centris® system gives this district; its boundaries do not exactly match those of Québec City's official neighbourhoods.
Is it a good area to buy a first condo?
The median sale price of condos here was $255,000 from January to September 2026 (source: Centris®). Before buying, have the syndicate's financial statements, the contingency fund and upcoming work reviewed: that is what sets apart two units offered at the same price.
Will the tramway reach the area?
According to the published route, the line ends in Charlesbourg, at the corner of 1re Avenue and 41e Rue. Service is scheduled for 2033. The route and timeline may still change: check the latest information with the project office.
How much is my condo in the Atrium area worth?
In a market of a few dozen sales a year, a median price says little. The value depends on the building, the floor, parking, condo fees and recent sales in the same building. We prepare this comparative market analysis free of charge.
