You feel right in the heart of the action here with Haymarket and the city centre just a ten minute walk away, but this is also balanced really nicely with close connections to the peaceful meadows and Morningside areas. Over all, the area is great.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

We are enjoying living in the area and exploring the neighbourhoods and beautiful green spaces including along the canal and the meadows. Lots of great coffee shops and convenient shops and supermarkets. We haven’t had any issues with noise or anti social behaviour but have noticed quite a bit of rubbish around, particularly on the bin collection days (though it is cleaned up after this). The bus services are great and frequent and it is handy being near haymarket for the trams and trains. The area is close to everything and feels family friendly.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes and they have done so quickly, resolving issues immediately

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It would’ve been good to get a better idea of what future developments at the New Fountainbridge site would be, in terms of other vendors moving in and progress on the buildings due to open. I also wish I had known the parking situation better. Otherwise I felt I had a pretty good sense of the place.
