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.

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

Leith walk is just a short walk away with any store you could ask from ranging from grocery shops to cafe!

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

Yes, all issues were looked at/resolved same day sometimes even the same hour!

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

I wish the bedroom had a proper wardrobe as it’s quite hard to store clothes with that limited space

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

Leith walk is just a short walk from the property, which has every shop one can imagine. On the other side, Lidl and Tesco in canon mills are also just a ten minute walk. I do wish that there were more convenient bus routes outside the building, but in terms of walking it’s amazing.

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

Whenever we have had an issue we have simply emailed management and they’ve gotten back to us incredibly fast.

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

If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen space can be quite small, but it is extremely worth it for how beautifully built it is.

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

Quiet, near Leith Walk with excellent cafe and restaurant selection. Easy tram access. Soundproofing is good.

Yes, in email. Fast responses. Very quick to help if I lock myself out by accident.

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

The building is old, so the heating bill will be expensive.

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

It is pretty calm most of the time except on weekday mornings when you’d hear children playin’, cryin’ and laughing next to you due to the primary school beside the building, which is verily cheerful :)

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

They are a most swift responsive building management team!

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

Be sure to use the heater gently, for if you keep it incessantly running, it’ll cost you a lot!
