Built by students,
for students.
FrontGate started with a simple observation: finding housing near Kingston's universities was broken. Informal listings, no accountability, and no way to know if a landlord — or a student — was who they claimed to be. We built the platform we wish had existed when we were searching.

The Problem
Finding housing near UTech or UWI meant scrolling through Facebook groups full of scam listings, unverified landlords, and zero accountability. Students were left vulnerable — paying deposits for properties that didn't exist.
Our Answer
FrontGate verifies every student and every landlord before a single message is exchanged. Identity is confirmed first. Contact details are locked behind verification. The platform is the safeguard.
