Region

Edinburgh's housing includes Georgian and Victorian tenements in the New Town and Marchmont, sandstone semis in Morningside and Corstorphine, and modern developments in Leith and Granton. Tenement properties (flats) are particularly common.

Central Edinburgh has limited parking with extensive permit zones. Suburban areas like Corstorphine, Cramond, and South Queensferry have better off-street parking. Tenement properties may need creative cable routing solutions.

Edinburgh has a very high proportion of flat owners and renters due to the tenement housing stock. Many Edinburgh homeowners live in flats and are eligible for the OZEV grant.
