- $13,052 / year
32 Kensington Avenue offers an opportunity to live on one of Kingston's classic and most sought-after streets, where beautiful character homes and a true sense of neighbourhood come together. This early-1900s Craftsman home blends timeless architecture with the ease of modern living, following an extensive renovation in 2017 that included electrical, plumbing, insulation, forced air heating, windows and more. Offering five bedrooms and gracious principal rooms, there is plenty of space for family, entertaining and everyday life. At the heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen and great room, bright, inviting and designed for gathering. Hickory hardwood floors, quartzite countertops and a dual 36" range add warmth and quality, while four sets of oversized bay windows bring beautiful natural light throughout the day. Outside, the landscaped and fully fenced backyard features a composite deck, while a detached two-car garage, parking for four and rear laneway access are exceptional conveniences in this central location. All of this on a quiet street within an easy walk of Queen's University, KGH, the waterfront and the Pier. A substantial family home, beautifully updated, in a location that captures the very best of Kingston living.

Schools
The school boundaries this address is inside, and the schools nearest it. Boards redraw boundaries and cap programs — confirm with the board before this affects a decision.
Other schools nearby
By distance from this address, not school boundary — a school 400 m away can be in another school’s attendance area.
| School | Level | Distance | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winston Churchill Public School Limestone DSB | Elementary | 512 m | / 10 88% met the standard |
| Rideau Public School Limestone DSB | Elementary | 1.2 km | / 10 78% met the standard |

How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

H-Value
The market around this home
Detached houses in 14 - Central City East — 151 sales over the last five years.
How these are built, and what they cannot tell you
Each point is the median of the sales that closed in that quarter among detached houses in 14 - central city east. A quarter with fewer than eight is left out rather than drawn, and the line breaks where that happens — a median over three sales is really one home’s price, and joining across a gap would draw a number nobody measured.
This is not an estimate of what this home is worth. The segment is a property type in an area; it takes no account of this home’s size, condition, renovations, lot, exposure or how it compares to its neighbours, and half the homes in any quarter sold for more than the median and half for less. It is context for a conversation with an agent, not a valuation.

The neighbourhood, by the census
Statistics Canada 2021 Census for dissemination area 35100169 — the few blocks around this address, home to 412 people. It describes the area, not this property.
Percentages are of the 240 responses in this category. Statistics Canada rounds counts and withholds small ones to keep individuals unidentifiable, so categories with too few people to publish are absent rather than shown as zero.

Work out the numbers
Everything below is calculated in your browser from figures you can change. Nothing is sent anywhere.
If you rented it out
Monthly rent starts from the median of recent 5-bedroom leases in Kingston. Change it to anything you like.
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
