We wanted to find out what Edinburgh’s most desirable street was so asked our audience where they would most like to live right now.
Responding to our Facebook post earlier this week, Evening News readers have told us the city streets they would most like to live on.
Almost all of the top 12 streets chosen by our readers are situated in and around the city centre, in the New Town, Old Town and Stockbridge, while two were further afield in Leith and by the beach in Portobello.
Here are Edinburgh’s 12 most desirable streets to live on in 2025.

5. Dean Village
Only a short walk away from the city centre is Dean Village, a peaceful and pretty village next to the Water of Leith. Although not technically a street, four of our readers said this is where they would most like to live. The charming area is one of the most sought-out residential parts of Edinburgh, with plenty of interesting things to see including the Dean Cemetery, the Dean Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art. | Getty Photo: Getty Images
