The base, and where homes sit around it.

CFB Kingston’s own page says the base supports 46 lodger units and several training schools and institutions, such as the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), the Canadian Forces School of Military Intelligence (CFSMI) and the Canadian Forces School of Communications and Electronics (CFSCE).

On our Kingston neighbourhood guide, CFB Kingston is in the east end, beside the Barriefield heritage village. Which part of Kingston suits you depends on your report location, your commute and the home you want, so we map the areas to your route.

Benefits

Your entitlements are set by the directive, not by us.

The Canadian Armed Forces Relocation Directive (effective April 1, 2026) sets the benefits for a posting, including a chapter on the sale and purchase of a residence. What applies to you depends on your posting and your status, so confirm it through your own relocation channels.

We do not advise on entitlements. We plan the sale, the purchase and the financing around the dates and costs you give us.

Questions

Moving to Kingston: quick answers.

Tell us your report date and we will work back from it.

How early should I contact you?

As soon as you have your posting message or a likely report date. The sale, the purchase and the mortgage all work back from that date, and an early start gives us room to price your sale properly and shortlist homes in Kingston before you travel.

Can I buy in Kingston before I arrive?

Often, yes. We shortlist homes against your route, budget and timing, walk you through them by video, and fit your own viewings into the trip you are already making. The Canadian Armed Forces Relocation Directive describes a house hunting trip as one of its main benefits; what you are entitled to is set by the directive and your posting.

Do you advise on relocation entitlements?

No. Entitlements are set by the Canadian Armed Forces Relocation Directive (effective April 1, 2026), which has a chapter on the sale and purchase of a residence. Confirm yours through your own relocation channels. We plan the sale, purchase and financing around the dates and costs you give us.

What is the Kingston market like right now?
