The verdict
Mixed · 63Commenters describe Kingston's people, culture and calm older neighbourhoods warmly, but warn about danger framing and decline, and the material says little about remote-work essentials like cost, rent or internet.
- friendly people
- cultural richness and music
- quiet, clean established neighbourhoods
- community spirit in Orange Grove
- historic architecture
- crime and danger framing
- downtown needs upkeep
- apartment development changing neighbourhoods
- little on cost, rent or internet
- Most visitors find locals welcoming and say crime is overstated.
- Established neighbourhoods like Orange Grove feel calm and well kept.
- Downtown history is compelling but the area looks run down.
- Commenters worry new apartment blocks will spoil the character of neighbourhoods.
- Remote-work practicalities are barely covered, so research costs and housing separately.
