Looking for a place to live?

The Queen’s Accommodation Listing Service (ALS) is a tool to help students connect with landlords who have rental properties available. Queen’s does not endorse, vet or warrant the quality of the rental units posted.

Queen's is also a landlord and Community Housing oversees the Queen's owned properties. Available properties have the Queen's Crest attached to the listing, so you know it is University owned.

Our work in Off-Campus Living Advisor is directly tied to many UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Housing and Ancillary Services’ Sustainability Goals, contributing to the university’s social impact and making a tangible difference in the lives of others.
