👑 Kingston Student Housing Comparison – Why Choose Us?

When searching for off-campus housing in Kingston, many students automatically look at 652 Princess (Sage) or 501 Frontenac. Compared to those buildings, this unit offers an unparalleled advantage in location, space, and lifestyle:

【The Ultimate Location Win】: 501 Frontenac and 652 Princess require a 13 to 15-minute uphill walk to get to campus. In Kingston’s brutally cold, snowy winters, this is a massive hassle.

 Our condo is a true 5-minute walk (500 meters) to the Queen's University core campus, libraries, and Kingston General Hospital (KGH). You are practically on campus, saving you from freezing at bus stops.

【Massive Living Space】: Most modern downtown student buildings offer incredibly cramped, micro-style rooms (mostly tight studios). Our condominium features a massive total area of 1,317 square feet! It boasts 9-foot ceilings, ultra-wide historic hallways, large French-style windows, and genuine hardwood floors. The rooms are flooded with natural light and offer more than double the space of standard student apartments, meaning zero claustrophobia.

【Peaceful Historic Neighborhood】: 652 Princess sits on a noisy, heavy-traffic main commercial artery and occasionally faces disruptions from transient populations. Our building (The Annandale) is nestled in Sydenham Ward—Kingston’s safest, most prestigious, and quietest historic neighborhood. You will be surrounded by beautiful limestone architecture and mature trees, while still being a short walk from the St. Lawrence waterfront, downtown shops, and top restaurants.

【Fully Furnished Bedroom & Great Roommate】: The available secondary bedroom comes thoughtfully furnished with a single bed, simple bedding (sheets, pillowcases, towels), a study desk, and a chair. You will be sharing the unit with a very friendly, quiet, and studious Queen's student, ensuring a peaceful environment perfect for exam prep and focused studying.

🏰 Unique Building Amenities & Common Areas

Enjoy effortless, high-quality condo living. The historic building features grand, extra-wide interior corridors, a massive manicured green lawn exclusive to residents, an intimate courtyard equipped with BBQ facilities, secure bicycle storage, and a clean, well-maintained building laundry room.

FYI:

Q: When looking for off-campus housing for their children, many Queen's University parents typically consider 501 Frontenac St and 652 Princess St (Sage) as their top choices. How do these two rental buildings compare to the one at 67 Sydenham St? Are they close to the Queen's campus? Are they safe? Are they quiet? Are they clean? Do they offer good value for money? Could you please compare these three rental buildings?

A: There are extremely distinct differences among these three buildings regarding location, architectural style, and overall living experience.

The newly added 67 Sydenham St (the famous historic apartment building known as The Annandale) is entirely different from 501 Frontenac and 652 Princess. It is not only the closest of the three to Queen's University and Kingston General Hospital (KGH), but it is also a traditional upscale apartment building boasting the most vintage, British-style limestone charm.

Below is a comprehensive side-by-side comparison and in-depth analysis of the three buildings. Comparison of the core indicators of the three buildings:

1. Building Type:

67 Sydenham - Classic designated heritage building / vintage apartment

501 Frontenac - Modern upscale apartment for students and young professionals

652 Princess - Modern compact investment-style student apartment

2. Distance to Queen's Campus

67 Sydenham - Extremely close: approximately 500 meters (5-6 minutes walk)

501 Frontenac - Farther away: approximately 1.3 kilometers (15 minutes walk)

652 Princess - Moderate distance: approximately 1.1 kilometers (13-15 minutes walk)

3. Interior Living Space

67 Sydenham - Massive (typically 1,000-1,300+ square feet)

501 Frontenac - Moderate (typically 800-1,100 square feet)

652 Princess - Cramped (mostly compact layouts or micro-studios). The interior living space is the narrowest and most confined of the three buildings.

4. Ceiling Height & Natural Light

67 Sydenham - 9-foot ultra-high ceilings, large windows, and genuine solid hardwood floors

501 Frontenac - Modern standard ceiling height, generally good natural light

652 Princess - Standard ceiling height; natural light can easily be limited in some of the smaller layouts

5. Furniture Furnishings

67 Sydenham - Usually rented out by individual landlords (furnished)

501 Frontenac - Generally unfurnished; tenants need to purchase their own

652 Princess - Most units come with a full set of furniture uniformly provided by the developer

6. Building Amenities & Selling Points

67 Sydenham - A century-old vintage elevator and a massive British-style central green courtyard

501 Frontenac - Rooftop BBQ terrace, modern gym, and a party room

652 Princess - Professional student study rooms, a rooftop garden, and an indoor glass-domed atrium

7. Surrounding Environment

67 Sydenham - Premier historic affluent neighborhood (Sydenham Ward); extremely quiet and safe

501 Frontenac - Situated at the junction of a residential and commercial area; relatively balanced

652 Princess - Its geographical location is directly on one of Kingston's core main arterial roads; lower floors or street-facing units experience quite noticeable traffic noise. Because it is on a major thoroughfare, it is bustling and noisy, and transient individuals/homeless people are common.

In-Depth Analysis: Which Building Is Better for You?

67 Sydenham Street (The Annandale) - For Those Seeking the Ultimate Location and Quality of Life

Campus Distance: A complete win. Nestled in the prestigious Sydenham Ward historic conservation area, it is only about a 5-minute walk to the Queen's University academic campus, KGH hospital, and the beautiful shores of Lake Ontario.

Building Quality: This is a traditional limestone building originally constructed during the Deco era of the 1920s-1930s. Inside, it features a highly nostalgic vintage wood elevator with a manual sliding door and remarkably spacious, wide corridors. The apartment layouts are immense (two-bedroom units often exceed 1,200 square feet), featuring 9-foot ceilings, French double doors, large windows, and genuine hardwood flooring.

Drawbacks: The property maintenance fees (Condo Fees) paid by owners are high ($1,000+ per month), meaning the rent is usually more expensive, and the building comes with stricter regulations (e.g., tight restrictions on pets, strict non-smoking policies, etc.).

Final Housing Recommendation:

If budget is not an issue, you prioritize proximity to the school and hospital, and you love a spacious living room, ample sunlight, and the peaceful atmosphere of a classic, quiet affluent neighborhood: choose 67 Sydenham Street without a second thought.

FYI: 

Q: How to Choose: Queen’s University On-Campus Residence vs. Off-Campus Apartments ?

A: As someone who’s been through it, I often see first‑year parents blindly recommending on‑campus dorms or the high‑density student apartments on Princess Street—just because “it’s the best way for their child to make friends in first year.”

I want to share my daughter’s real experience to give parents a heads‑up before they decide.

My daughter graduated in Biology and is now in medical school. When she started first year, she was convinced that “living on campus is the only way to fit in.” But after less than one semester, she couldn’t wait to move out.

Here’s why:

(1) Unbearable noise – Queen’s is famous as a party school. The dorm hallways echo terribly. Her roommate and neighbours gamed and partied late into the night, with completely different schedules. She couldn’t sleep at all. I even had to order noise‑cancelling earplugs from Amazon so she could get some rest.

(2) Hurt her studies and health – Especially during exam prep, the dorms were still loud. She couldn’t rest properly, let alone focus on studying.

(3) Willing to lose money to move out – Her top‑student friends felt the same. In the end, they all paid for a full year’s residence fees but moved out early anyway. After moving, they all said, “We’re never going back to student dorms,” because the quiet off‑campus life literally saved their GPAs and their sleep.

Why we chose 67 Sydenham St – and why we think it’s a much better option

Many parents only look at 652 Princess (Sage) or 501 Frontenac, but both are a 13‑15 minute walk to campus, sit on the noisy Princess Street main road with heavy traffic and a mixed crowd, and have extremely cramped rooms.

In contrast, the 2‑bedroom‑plus‑den condominium we chose at 67 Sydenham St (The Annandale) solves every pain point perfectly:

· Right next to campus – truly the best location! It’s only a 5‑minute walk (500 metres) to Queen’s main academic buildings and KGH hospital – as close as on‑campus dorms, so you avoid winter weather hassle.

· Extremely quiet and safe – located in Kingston’s safest, upscale neighbourhood, Sydenham Ward, surrounded by mature residents and scholars. The building has strict management, no wild parties – a rare quiet study haven.

· Spacious luxury – the unit is a massive 1,317 sq. ft., with 9‑ft ceilings, large windows, and real hardwood floors – twice the size of typical student apartments, incredibly comfortable.

· All‑inclusive and move‑in ready – rent is $980/month, covering hydro, water, heat, and even winter snow removal! The second bedroom comes with a bed, desk, and basic furniture. The other roommate is a quiet, excellent Queen’s student – a great study atmosphere.

⚠️ Note: Condo rules strictly prohibit smoking and pets in the entire building.

Comprehensive comparison: Queen’s on‑campus residence vs. three off‑campus buildings

Evaluation Dimension 

- Queen’s On‑Campus 

- 67 Sydenham St (The Annandale) 

- 501 Frontenac St (The Frontenac) 

- 652 Princess St (Sage Kingston)

1. Noise level & quietness 

(1) Extremely loud/unpredictable. Hallways echo, weekend parties constant, noisy even during exam weeks. “Quiet floors” often disturbed by adjacent floors. 

(2) Ultimate quiet. Located in a historic protected residential area with strict building management. Thick limestone walls ensure absolute peace. 

(3) Moderate / controllable. Modern concrete construction, good soundproofing. Noise usually limited to individual units, but student gatherings happen on weekends. 

(4) Significant traffic noise. On the commercial main road, lower floors affected by street traffic and sirens, though individual units are somewhat insulated.

2. Study & exam environment 

(1) Not suitable for studying in the room – too close to social areas and poor soundproofing. Students are forced to leave for the library during exams. 

(2) Excellent study sanctuary. The 1,317 sq. ft. space offers perfect privacy and focus, zero external distractions. 

(3) Good. Modern, spacious floor plans allow for a comfortable, large personal desk area. 

(4) Good. Building has a study lounge, convenient for exam prep.

3. Safety & neighbourhood 

(1) Mixed. Some older dorms suffer from blind spots in supervision on weekends – vandalism, outsiders slipping in. 

(2) Top‑tier safety. Located in Kingston’s safest Sydenham Ward, surrounded by high‑quality mature residents. Extremely secure. 

(3) Safe and balanced. Standard electronic fob access, underground secure parking, in a residential‑commercial transition zone. 

(4) Mixed crowd on main road. Building has electronic security, but adjacent to Princess Street, with occasional homeless or recently released inmates around.

4. Cleanliness & maintenance 

(1) Hit‑or‑miss / often dirty. Common washrooms and hallways are frequently trashed after weekend parties, with slow cleaning. 

(2) Spotless. A respected historic upscale building – wide hallways, classic elevators, and central lawn are meticulously maintained daily. 

(3) Fairly clean. Newer building, with daily common‑area cleaning by property management. 

(4) Cramped / high wear. Newer building, but due to high student density, garbage rooms and elevators show frequent wear and mess.

5. Value for money 

(1) Very poor value. Per‑square‑foot cost is extremely high, plus mandatory expensive meal plan. 

(2) Exceptional value. $980/month all‑inclusive – far less than residence, for a premium 1,317‑sq‑ft space. 

(3) Market rate for a modern Kingston condo – newer unit with good amenities. 

(4) Pricey. Single rooms are very narrow, but furnished – saves initial furniture costs.

6. Deep dive: The real “noise pain points” of on‑campus residence

(1) The cost of a “party school” – Many first‑years choose dorms to fit in, but that means your sleep and studies depend entirely on your neighbours’ social habits. Every Friday/Saturday night, and especially the two weeks before exams, thin drywall can’t block hallway noise. Countless students complain that even earplugs don’t help, and they end up sleeping in Stauffer or Douglas Library.

(2) Dirty and messy common areas – In traditional dormitories, shared washrooms, showers, and kitchens are often vandalised (broken ceilings, trash everywhere) after weekend drinking, making the living experience miserable.

(3) The quiet advantage of off‑campus premium apartments – Moving to a historic condo like 67 Sydenham St gives students full control over their environment. The building rents mostly to quality‑minded students or professionals, and with strict condo bylaws (no smoking, no pets), the atmosphere is like an academic sanctuary. It’s still just a 5‑minute walk to class, but completely insulated from dorm chaos.

7. Final advice for parents and students

· Choose Queen’s on‑campus residence if your child is an extremely outgoing social butterfly, doesn’t mind sleeping with earplugs, is fine with the mandatory meal plan, and prioritises “meeting new people everywhere, anytime” above all else in first year.

· Choose 67 Sydenham St if your child wants a 5‑minute walk to class, needs a fully predictable, ultra‑quiet environment to protect their GPA, and wants to live in a spacious, clean, prestigious 1,300‑sq‑ft apartment at a much lower cost than residence.
