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. 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.

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!

Almost everything here is great, the flat, the common areas, the gym and good maintenance of the building. The furniture (bed, desk, chairs, and dining table) are quite nice but the only thing that can be improved is the quality of couch in the flat. It is poor quality and should be replaced for better comfort.

overall the building is well organized and furnished in a pleasant modern way, stuffed with state-of-the-art technology items like smart-tvs, nests, led lights. also, the gym, even though not enormous, has everything a user needs to work out properly. I encountered several times guys cleaning the stairs, which is good, however, the vacuum on my floor looks really filthy and it seems that no one ever cleans it after use, this is honestly really annoying and something should be done, like a booking excel file, so that peaple would be much more keen to clean it after use.

Still enjoying it here after five years, there‘ve been nice improvements and expansions over that time as well. Management is always swift to respond and helpful, and I’ve never had any issues. It’s very well connected with multiple busses close by and even the tram not too far away now. Facilities like the gym and roof terrace are a welcome bonus.

The property has been refurbished to a high standard and meets all requirements for city centre living. The communal areas are clean and well maintained, and the management team are very approachable if you need anything. All in all a very pleasant place to live.
