A guide to living in City of Edinburgh

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

The good part of being in this area is it’s quiet and friendly. Surrounding areas are also clean. Local amenities are within 5-10 mins walking distance. You can find Tesco, coop or Sainsbury within 10 mins walking distance. Park is just within 5 mins walk, which I really enjoy on the sunny days. Bus stop is 3-5 mins walk depending on which block you are in. Nothing has bad aspects but at night the surroundings are very quiet and sometimes I see a fox roaming around which scares me a bit.
