The car is very often the favoured approach to navigate Kingston. It is especially convenient to find a parking spot. In contrast, Kingston is not very transit friendly. Nonetheless, there are approximately 20 bus lines crossing the city, and bus stops are commonly relatively close by. Walking is not very practical for house buyers in Kingston since running daily errands is impractical.
Services
A fraction of home buyers in Kingston may be able to shop for their groceries by walking in one of over 50 stores, while others will have to use another means of transportation. There are also a few options for those who care about nearby restaurants and cafes. With respect to education, families may find it challenging to access high schools and primary schools as pedestrians. Additionally, there are only a few daycares and therefore they can be an extended walk away.
