Welcome to the North End of Kingston
The North End of Kingston refers to the urban and semi-rural areas north of the Downtown core and Highway 401, including neighborhoods like Rideau Heights, Markers Acres, and the emerging subdivisions along Highway 15 toward Glenburnie. This sector blends established city neighborhoods with countryside charm, featuring a mix of older homes, new developments, and hobby farms. It's ideal for those seeking affordability, space, and proximity to nature, with quick access to the city via Highway 401 and Princess Street. Often considered the "central north" for the urban parts and "north of the 401" for the more rural extensions, it attracts families, commuters, and those wanting a quieter pace just beyond the urban buzz.
Participate in community activities at the Rideau Heights Community Centre, offering programs, sports facilities, and events for families, including a library branch and youth drop-in spaces.
Discover outdoor recreation at the nearby Gould Lake Conservation Area, with hiking trails, fishing ponds, and picnic spots.
Visit the Kingston Memorial Centre for arenas, farmers' markets, and community gatherings, conveniently located near the northern edge of the urban core.
