Smile Kingston

Can anyone tell me where the best neighborhoods are in Kinston? We are a family of 5, with 2 teens and an 11 yr old.
Any info on the best schools would be fab, Thank you x

Anything west of sir John A McDonald blvd is generally fine, south of princess near downtown is amazing but pretty snooty and with prices to match, north of downtown especially around division and Montreal streets can be pretty sketchy... Lots of prison wags around.

Should add that Amherstview and Bath are also worth considering. I'm in Gananoque which is 30 mins east of downtown and it has its good and bad points.

Wrinklies are the biggest threat cos you might get run over by a scooter or a walker.

Anywhere within 30 mins is a good location cos it's still shorter than the average communte in a big city like Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa

To be honest? I haven't the faintest idea. Just thought I'd say hi as Kingston is where we are hoping to go too. So...hi!
