A nice area in Edinburgh?

[nikkolee]

Hi there.
I would like to know more about Edinburgh, because i`m thinking to move there in the near future. I would like to know which areas are nice and quiet to live, because i`m not driving, i cant move very,very far away from town center and because i can go on right move or gumtree to look for the rent, i would prefer to found up from people that live there how much the rent it will be for 1/2 bedroom house.
Because i have a cat and i`m planning to buy a puppy as well how hard it is to find a property. Thank you very much!

I think that you'll find nice, quiet areas of Edinburgh very expensive to rent. I would have a look at Property Centre website to get some idea of what you might pay. I'm in Dundee and there's no way I could afford to live in our capital city. One bedroom flat would cost more than my three bed semi.

How do you thik the cat and the puppy will get on with the nocturnal bird of prey?

LOL, It's a long commute to Brum.

Lots of nice areas - it's a very walkable city so don't worry about the town centre. Rent for 2 bedroom flat will be about £700 - 800 pcm. There are a lot of students so rents high.
Excellent bus service and plenty of green area all over the place so pets not a problem.

Is it in Morningside that you'd find the creme de la creme?

If you are serious, I may know of a flat available in the Easter road area of Edinburgh, not sure of it's size as it belongs to the brother of a friend and he is about to put it on the rental market - I was supposed to be there today to take the pictures but due to unforseen family circumstances I couldn't do the job. So if you think you might be genuinely interested leave a message here and we can take it from there.

@maggiebee My bro lives in Dundee( very funny stories about Dundee world indeed :)) ) i know that i can found cheap rent there, but i think the city it is a bit low in jobs opportunities. We are looking to move from Birmingham ( i don`t like it at all, it is an ugly city) in Scotland, because i love everything that it is Scottish, and I am in on the point that i'll take in mind every opportunity.

Nikkolee, if you are out there, I'm sorry I haven't been able to get back to you before now, family crisis I'm afraid - sorted now.
The flat I mentioned is only going to be for rental for a very short time as the owner actually wants to sell having moved to France. I apologise if I misled you I was under the impression that it was for a really long rental and that he wanted to hold on to it. Again I can only apologise for my error, and wish you luck in your search. Edinburgh isn't such a big city and is easy to get around on foot, with plenty of green spaces to walk a puppy and a good bus system so try not to limit yourself to the city centre only
