North American Van Lines: The Best of Kingston Moving Companies

Located across Lake St. Lawrence from the U.S./Canada border in southern Ontario near several of the province's best green spaces, Kingston is a waterfront gem. The city is home to Queen's University, St. Lawrence College and the Royal Military College, so there is a noted student presence and youthful atmosphere around the city.

According to the 2011 Canadian Census, there are more than 123,000 residents living in Kingston. Even with the university in town, more than one-half of the city is either married or living with a common-law partner, so there many people from all walks of life living in Kingston. The city also enjoys some of the best weather in Canada and is one of the oldest cities in the region, having been founded in 1673 by French explorers.

Activities and Attractions in Kingston

Fine dining is one of the major attractions in Kingston - in fact, the city was the home of the country's first cookbook and home to more restaurants per capita than any other Canadian city. The heart of the city's foodie culture is the Kingston Public Market, which has been in operation since the 19th century and features local goodies and cooking demos. From sports pubs to family establishments to classy restaurants, Kingston delivers whenever you are looking for great food and drink.

Kingston is located along the St. Lawrence River and the 1000 Islands, so waterfront activities are a major pastime. You can take a cruise up and down the river, or get active with sports like kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing and swimming. If you enjoy hiking, Kingston offers plenty of places to lace up your boots and hit the trail with nearby Frontenac Provincial Park and the Rideau Trail Association. 

Moving to Kingston

Kingston has a very active biking community with a system of cycling lanes, but you can also get to the city just as easily by car, as Kingston is located along Interstates 33 and 2, as well as the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, so traversing your new home with a Kingston moving company shouldn't be a problem. However, if you would rather fly into the city, you can opt for North American Van Lines' vehicle transportation services, land at either Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport (10 kilometres from the city center) and let northAmerican take care of the rest.
