Kingsford Residence, managed by the Kingsford Group and located on McDonald Road, offers residents the opportunity to stay in a former Victorian school building which has been newly converted to form one of Edinburgh’s first operational Build to Rent developments. The apartments retain many of the original features of the building while blending them seamlessly with contemporary open plan living and modern fixtures. Located in the area of Broughton, the Kingsford Residence on McDonald Road is within easy walking distance of all that the City Centre has to offer as well as tram and bus links on the same street. Within the development we have a variety of communal spaces including the Club Room, Gym, the Bridge (dining/co-working space, which can also be hired for private event space), the Garden, and our Roof Terrace which offers spectacular views across the Edinburgh sky line.

The storage isn’t vast so I’d consider downsizing my belongings but they’ve made do with what little space there is! Otherwise no complaints

Comfortable home near Leith Walk

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living near Leith Walk has been a very positive experience. The area feels lively and welcoming with plenty of cafés, small shops and great transport links that make daily life easier. It is convenient, friendly and full of character, so overall it has been a lovely place to stay.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

How the building management has responded The building management have always been quick, polite and very helpful whenever I have raised anything, and any issues have been resolved smoothly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

One thing I wish I had known before moving in I hadn’t realised how convenient the shared facilities would be in day-to-day life. The club room and gym are far more useful than they appear during a viewing, so I would tell new neighbours to make full use of them as they genuinely add to the experience of living here.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

A great location, near town, Leith, Stockbridge. All the hot spots of the city but still remains in a quiet area.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

If there were any issues which was rare, these were addressed very quickly and professionally.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

There are more modern complexes in Edinburgh of a similar nature - but don’t be fooled. I’d choose Kingsford over any of these based on personal experience.
