Kingston continues to be rated as one of the Best Places To Live in Canada!
And we're not surprised as the City of Kingston offers the perfect blend of small-town charm & character and big-town convenience. Both a dynamic and tranquil place to live, Kingston offers as much for the single, young professional as it does for growing families and retirees. Kingston has a current population of 146,838.
Natural beauty surrounds Kingston, and the city itself boasts one of the largest per capita green space areas in Ontario with over 180 parks. To experience the Great Outdoors, just take a leisurely stroll in one of the historic parks or ride your bicycle along one of the city’s beautiful trails. Boat tours are also available to weave you through the breathtaking 1000 Islands.
Built upon a foundation of history and tradition, the historic downtown core has an abundance of limestone structures and Victorian homes. Elsewhere, a collection of eclectic tastes and individual residential pockets give Kingston its unique character.
Affordable housing prices and a wide choice of accommodation and lifestyles make Kingston an excellent choice for your next home. Small rural communities on nearby Amherst, Wolfe and Howe Islands also beckon to those who dream of “island life.”
