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.
9. Jamaica Street
This quiet almost hidden little New Town street off Howe Street was popular with our readers as the best street to live on in Edinburgh, with Patricia Lindsay commenting: "Old Jamaica Street. Bitter sweet memories." | Google Maps
10. Leith Walk
Two of our readers chose this old road as the one they would most like to live on in Edinburgh, with the famous old street linking the port of Leith with Edinburgh city centre. With Larry Dillon commenting: "Leith Walk any day." | Google Maps Photo: Google Street View
11. Melville Street
This West End street was chosen by two of our readers as the street they would most like to live on in Edinburgh. The street recently featured in the opening episode of hit Netflix series Department Q, with DCI Carl Mork seen getting off a Lothian bus here. | Google Maps
12. Bath Street
Who doesn't want to live next to a beach? Well Evening News reader Sharon Groom certainly wants to live a stone's throw from 'Porty Beach', commenting: "Always been Bath Street, Portobello x." Other desirable Edinburgh streets listed by our readers included Victoria Street, India Street, Thistle Street, Quality Street, Inverleith Row and Castle Terrace. | Neilsons/ Planography Photo: Neilsons/ Planography
