The Water of Leith flows through the centre, providing scenic walks and a peaceful setting.

Juniper Green has a local convenience store, village hall, and strong community associations. Colinton Dell — one of Edinburgh's most beautiful woodland walks — is accessible from the village. The Pentland Hills are visible to the south. The village sits above the river valley, many properties enjoying elevated views. A popular choice for families wanting space, greenery, and a village community with a quick train commute.
