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:

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!

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

Great location - across the road from a park (which is great, as we have a dog!), but with excellent transport links to the city centre. Lots of buses and trams within a few minutes' walk, but also many great restaurants, pubs and cafes within walking distance in Leith. The building is right next to a school, but it's not too noisy. There is free parking on a nearby street, which is super handy.

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

Any small things that have broken in the flat have been immediately fixed. Everyone great at communication and all the staff we've met have been really friendly.

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

Nothing really! Good welcome pack describing everything.

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

Ideally would have a 'local' bar really nearby! But there are lots within 10 minutes - so it's ultimately fine. Parking on street is ok but 3-5 minutes away. General street noise is fine and really quiet at night. Bin collection and School noise is fine also - you ultimately get used to it!

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

They always respond to problems promptly and with clear responses

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

Overall this is a great place to live. FYI - We are next to a primary school - so there will be some noise of kids playing etc at times
