Just minutes from the renowned shopping establishments on Edinburgh’s George Street and Princes Street, the ESPC has highlighted that the West End enjoys all the benefits of city centre living without the hustle and bustle. The West End is also one of Edinburgh’s most beautiful areas and The West End Conservation Area even forms part of the UNESCO Edinburgh World Heritage Site.
Haymarket Train Station is located within Edinburgh’s West End and residents located in the eastern part of the West End are only a ten-minute walk from Waverley Station, where they can take a train to numerous locations across the UK. The area is also close to green spaces such as Princes Street Gardens, and the Water of Leith Walkway also passes through the West End, via the Dean Village. You can also find the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art here.
The property experts revealed that flats are the most popular type of property in the West End, especially flats in a Georgian or Victorian style.
