Gorgie Road retains a more traditional high-street feel with everyday services. Tynecastle Park (Hearts FC) is the area's landmark. Harrison Park along the Union Canal provides green space and a popular walking/cycling route. The Fountainpark leisure complex offers cinema and restaurants. Proximity to Haymarket makes this one of Edinburgh's most practical neighbourhoods for commuters.
First-time buyers are the dominant group, attracted by Edinburgh's most affordable city-centre living. Young professionals priced out of Bruntsfield and Haymarket. Strong investor interest with rental yields of 5.5-6.5% from the young professional and student tenant base. Growing owner-occupier demand as the area improves. Properties achieve 100-103% of Home Report valuations.
