Storefronts along Princess Street in Kingston

12 min walk to campus. 3 min walk to Princess Street.

The building sits on Frontenac Street a few doors up from Princess, which is the stretch of Kingston that everything a student needs is already on. Pizza, ramen and bubble tea are round the corner, the bars start a few minutes down the street, and the side streets run straight down to campus.

Queen's is 12 minutes on foot down Alfred or University, or 4 on a bike, with no hill in either direction.

  • Queen's campus, 12 min walk or 4 min bike
  • Stauffer Library, 12 min walk
  • Groceries at Asian Food World, 5 min walk
  • Shoppers Drug Mart, 6 min walk

Your own washer and dryer. Not a basement and a bag of coins.

Every suite photographed in this building has a stacked washer and dryer in a closet off the hall, a dishwasher beside the sink and a stainless fridge, range and microwave. On this stretch of Princess Street that is the exception rather than the rule. This photograph is of a finished suite in the building.

  • Washer and dryer in the suite
  • Dishwasher and over-range microwave
  • Stainless steel appliances
  • Plank flooring throughout
  • Exposed ductwork in select suites
  • Sloped ceilings on the fifth floor
