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.

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

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.

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

Parking availability is good with a permit and there is free parking further down another road. Short walk to find great cafes, restaurants and shops. Incredibly quiet for a city building.

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

Yes they have responded to every problem so far. No issues.

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

I would advise viewing as many different apartments as you can to find the one that is right for you. There are a few different layouts.
