Stockbridge, Edinburgh: a village in the city
Sunday markets, the Water of Leith and handsome colonies of garden flats.
The feel
Stockbridge has independent bakers, bookshops and delis, all ten minutes' walk from the New Town. The Water of Leith path runs straight through, perfect for weekend walks.
Homes
The Colonies — rows of stone cottages split into upper and lower flats — are the local signature. Tenement flats with high ceilings and shutters are common too.
Renting here
Demand is high, so be ready to move quickly. Good flats often let within days; having references ready helps enormously.
