Kingston

With its many limestone buildings and 22 of Canada’s National Historic sites, this walkable waterfront community evokes old world charm. But with its bustling downtown, knowledge-based economy and a burgeoning tech center, Kingston is very much a city focused on the future. And perhaps because Kingston is home to Queen’s, one of Canada’s top research universities, it also boasts the highest number of PhD’s per capita in the country. Yet another reason that makes Kingston one very smart place to live.
