🇬🇧 Where to live in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's residential areas range from the dense closes of the Old Town and the Georgian grid of the New Town to tenement streets further south and a seafront edge to the east. Some areas sit within a few minutes' walk of a rapid-transit station, while others, such as Stockbridge, Bruntsfield, Marchmont and Morningside, are defined more by their high streets and green space. The differences are practical: central and formal in the middle, greener and more settled to the south, waterside to the north and east.
