Right in the middle of Kingston. Close to grocery stores, shopping centre's, Costco and schools.
5 min drive to the water where there are gorgeous parks, museums and college/university. Military city.

5 mins drive to the Trans Canada highway to get you to other large cities.
Toronto - 2 hours away

We mainly use the Ottawa airport for international and domestic flights because it's the easiest airport. Kingston does have its own airport as well, but pricey.
We're also about 40 minutes from the Syarcuse NY border.
Nearest airport
1.5 hr
Getting around
Super easy. Walkable to everything you need, but you can also hop on a bus for public transport. Potentially use our cars. Take a train or bus to other cities.
