A Peaceful, Convenient, and Friendly Living Experience

This house is very clean and quiet, with excellent natural light. The common areas are well-maintained, the facilities are complete, and it’s not noisy. The transportation is also very convenient, with a supermarket within ten minutes nearby, and it’s close to Prince Street. The residents are also very friendly to each other. Whenever there are any issues, the staff’s response is very timely. As for just one tinny suggestion, It would be even better if the lawn in the yard could be lusher. Overall, I am very satisfied.

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

I was in a rush to find a place, and I moved in almost immediately after finding the house. Despite this, everything was very clear and straightforward, with clear written instructions at every entrance. So, I feel there was nothing that I wasn’t informed about in advance.

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

When I first moved in, I was not very familiar with the heating system. After I called the front desk, a staff member came to my door within 10 minutes to explain it to me, which I thought was very efficient. So, I believe that the staff’s response to any resident’s inquiry will be very prompt.

Natural light apartment in quiet, green neighbourhood

Property is well managed and staff are supportive and prompt. Design of the apartment is very neutral and pleasing; it feels modern without overtly trying. Best thing about the apartment is the high windows, which provide a lot of natural light inside (important if you often work from home, like me). Amenities (the gym, the co-working space) are good and clean.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Excellent location: quiet and residential, but within walking distance of bars, restaurants and supermarkets, as well as, most importantly, only 2 minutes from the Leith walkway and an enjoyable walk away from Leith or the Botanical Garden. The neighbourhood is very green (lots of trees and parks in walking distance), family friendly, clean and feels safe. Sufficient bus stops close by and a whole range of transport connections on Leith Walk = 10 minutes walk away.

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

The building is pet-friendly. That is a wonderful idea in theory; in practice it means that the elevator and central stairway sometimes smell of wet dog and the hallway of cat litter.

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

Overall: promptly and with good solutions. Friendly and efficient maintenance crew.

Cosy and comfortable place to live in

The greatest thing is there is lift assess which is perfect for us especially when we need to carry heavy things. There is a gym room which is good for leisure and health. There are also many other facilities e.g. printer, coffee machine which improves convenience to all of us living here.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Our local area is better than I expected before I lived in. There are large supermarkets nearby (within 10 mins walk) and plenty of excellent restaurants around. The new town is just about 20mins walk away and the tram station is just 10mins walk away which is super convenient.

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

Our neighbourhood is good. Everyone living here are nice and friendly. The management team is super helpful and would always try to solve our issues quickly.

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

The building management respond to us quickly for whenever we raise any issues.

Kingsford Residence is a lovely place to call home

Kingsford Residence is one of the best equipped buildings I have lived in. While the flats are not huge, they are cleverly designed to make the most of every inch, and the decor is neutral and nice. The people who work at Kingsford are very friendly and maintenance is done quickly. There are also constant improvements to all shared amenities. Speaking of, the rooftop terrace, professionally equipped gym, and shared working spaces were all maintained to a high standard and are actually used by residents. Communication is good if there are any expected works/issues. Very regular cleaning, so the building was always in tip top shape. Would recommend to anyone!

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Kingsford Residence is located in a vibrant part of the city with many delicious and independent restaurants & cafes nearby. Close to local shopping centers, New Town, and Leith. My favorite aspect of the location is the proximity to lovely walking/running/cycling trails that connect most of the city.

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

Walking trails just across the road from Kingsford Residence connect you to the whole city!

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

There were several issues while we were there (curtains did not stay hung, washing machine and oven both had several issues) but communication was good, and the work was completed in a timely fashion.
