Developers are going ham in Kingston right now. We’re talking modern apartments in places like Kingston Riverside or the new bits near Norbiton. They’re all energy-efficient, with gyms, concierge services, and balconies big enough to host a very small, very chic party.
But if you’re after a house? Oh, they’ve got those too. Think four-bedroom townhouses with private gardens, tucked behind Victorian streets. It’s like someone designed your Pinterest board and then built it. Just with better plumbing.
