What drives Kingston prices
Kingston sits on the Highway 401 and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence waterway, and its economy runs on institutions and logistics. The city is a freight midpoint along the 401 corridor, and its waterfront position ties it to the St. Lawrence system. Institutions and logistics both keep trucks moving in and out of the city on a steady schedule. That combination of corridor freight and waterway access is what shapes Kingston's market, anchoring it to the movement of goods through eastern Ontario.
