Will Kingston Have a School?

Yes. True North Classical Academy is planning a tuition-free public charter school within the Kingston development.

The campus is anticipated to begin opening during the 2028–2029 school year, with a phased expansion of grade levels.

Plans include enrollment preferences for Kingston residents, although final eligibility and admission requirements should be verified directly with the school.

The campus is also intended to connect to Kingston's planned pathway network.

Kingston's master plan includes approximately 700,000 square feet of future retail, dining, and everyday services.

The development also features Kingston Village Parkway, a planned roadway connecting Corkscrew Road with State Road 82.

A connected pedestrian and golf-cart pathway network is intended to link neighborhoods with future amenities and commercial areas.

Because Kingston is a long-term development, buyers should distinguish between facilities that are currently available and those that remain planned.

The Kingston One CDD's adopted FY2027 assessments range from approximately $1,245 to $2,564 annually across published property classifications.

HOA dues vary by neighborhood and home type. Kingston South and Esplanade at Kingston have different association arrangements and amenities.

Additional charges, such as mandatory food and beverage minimums, may also apply.

Before purchasing, request the current association budget, applicable CDD assessment, and complete fee disclosure for the specific homesite.
