I agree with most of the above post, but these two points are simply not true.
1. Place D'Orleans is relatively close to downtown by car - not much further than Bayshore is. And access by auto and transit is very good. Provincial highway or not - it's still a freeway. Not sure how Tenth Line factors in as it supports local access.
2. Orleans has nearly the same population as the city of Kingston so it's big enough (and pretty affluent as well). However, the stores are so shitty, people are not going out of their way to shop there. Unfortunate, but it's reality.
