Whether you’re new faculty, a researcher, a physician or hospital staff, I’ll help you understand Kingston’s neighbourhoods and find the right home, often before you arrive.
Neighbourhoods near Queen’s and the hospitals, like Sydenham, Alwington, Portsmouth and Williamsville, offer character homes and walkability. Families often look west for larger lots and newer homes, and some choose rural properties with an easy drive. I’ll map each option against your commute.
Kingston is served by the Limestone District School Board and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, plus French-language boards and private schools. I can share school-boundary information for any home you’re considering; please confirm details with the board.
I do live video walk-throughs, send neighbourhood notes and coordinate inspections, lawyers and lenders, including lenders familiar with newcomers and professionals relocating from abroad.
We talk about your start date, commute, family needs and budget.
I send a short guide to the areas that fit you, with recent sales.
Video walk-throughs first, then an efficient visit if you can come to Kingston.
I negotiate, coordinate conditions and keep everything moving while you prepare for your new role.






Sydenham, Alwington, the University District, Williamsville and parts of Portsmouth are within walking or cycling distance of campus and the hospitals.
Some newcomers rent for a few months to get to know the city; others buy right away to avoid moving twice. I’ll help you weigh both with current rents and prices.
Yes. I can introduce you to lenders with programs for newcomers and work around your timeline with remote tours and digital signing.
Yes. RMC is on Point Frederick, east of downtown. Kingston East neighbourhoods offer a short commute, and downtown is a quick drive or bike ride away.
