Exploring the Hidden Gems of North Edinburgh: A Neighbourhood Guide to your new home

When you ask someone about Edinburgh, no doubt they will quickly refer to the Old Town or the Royal Mile, however there is so much more on offer from the city. North Edinburgh, for example offers the unique charm that only comes from being so close to the shore, and the great news is, it’s exactly where one our latest development is situated!

North Four is a collection of 94 brand new homes in the Muirhouse area of the city. This selection of two, three and four bedroom homes are just a short commute from the heart of Edinburgh City Centre, but they are also close neighbours to some charming areas.

1. Stockbridge (7 minutes from our new Edinburgh homes)

Nestled along the Water of Leith, Stockbridge is known for its bohemian charm with a unique mix of independent boutiques, artisanal cafes and bookshops lining its streets. A Sunday often offers local makers markets, which could be followed up with a walk along the picturesque Dean Village.

2. Leith (13 minutes from our North Four development)

Next up is Leith which is currently going through regeneration, and there’s a remarkable transformation to be seen. Its historic docks are now home to trendy bars, award-winning restaurants and of course, the iconic Royal Yacht Britannia.

3. Granton ( 6 minutes from our new homes)

Meanwhile further along the shore, Granton’s scenic waterfront offers breathtaking views of the Firth of Forth and beyond. Its promenade is now dotted with public art installations and tranquil green spaces. You also have the opportunity to visit the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh’s satellite site at Inverleith Park.

4. Newhaven (8 minutes from our development)

And similarly Newhaven is a picturesque destination brimming with maritime history, with its charming harbour and colourful fishermen’s cottages. Enjoy fish and chips by the waterfront or take a boat tour to explore nearby islands and coastal landmarks. You’ll also find the Victoria Swing Bridge here.

5. Trinity (3 minutes from our North Edinburgh homes)

Finally there is Trinity, which offers a peaceful retreat from the city bustle. Here you’ll find Trinity House Maritime Museum, showcasing Edinburgh’s maritime heritage and also Victoria Park. You’ll also be able to try out some local delicacies from the neighbourhood cafes and eateries, as well as checking out its elegant Georgian architecture.
