01 Area at a glance
Edinburgh's New Town combines formal Georgian streets and squares with immediate access to the city centre. George Street, Queen Street and the residential streets running north towards Broughton and Stockbridge each have a distinct feel, from polished commercial addresses to quieter terraces and mews.
It is central without being uniform. A top-floor flat near Broughton Street, a drawing-room apartment beside Queen Street Gardens and a townhouse close to Charlotte Square offer very different space, light and day-to-day surroundings.

My local view
New Town buying is rarely about postcode alone. I'd compare the building, floor, orientation and outlook before treating two properties as genuine alternatives.
The strongest purchase is usually the home whose period character works comfortably in daily life: good natural light, a practical layout, well-managed common parts and a location that matches the buyer's tolerance for activity and parking constraints.
