1 Bed Flats to Rent in New Town

We currently have 0 1-bedroom flats available to rent in New Town. Edinburgh's Georgian masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the New Town is the city's most prestigious residential address. Built in the 18th and 19th centuries as a planned extension to the medieval Old Town, it's defined by elegant crescents, garden squares, and wide streets lined with honey-coloured sandstone townhouses. Rental properties range from compact one-bed basement flats to grand three- and four-bed apartments with drawing rooms, original fireplaces, and corniced ceilings. Expect to pay £1,000–£1,300 for a one-bed, £1,300–£1,700 for a two-bed, and £1,800+ for larger flats on the main streets. The most expensive addresses are on Heriot Row, Moray Place, and Royal Circus. Transport is excellent: Waverley Station is a 5-minute walk from the east end, Haymarket Station 10 minutes from the west. Lothian Buses run along Princes Street, George Street, and Queen Street. The Tram runs along Princes Street and York Place to the airport. You can walk to any part of the city centre within 15 minutes. George Street has transformed into Edinburgh's premier dining and nightlife strip, with restaurants like The Dome and Dishoom alongside cocktail bars and boutique shops. Princes Street offers high-street retail with views of the Castle. Stockbridge and its independent shops are a 5-minute walk north. Supermarkets include Waitrose on Comely Bank Road and M&S Food on Princes Street. The New Town suits: professionals who want a prestigious central address, couples who value period architecture and walkability, and anyone working in the financial district or city centre offices. Less suited to students (expensive) or families with young children (limited green space, though Queen Street Gardens provide private access for residents). Schools: the area is served by Broughton Primary School and Broughton High School. Several private schools (Edinburgh Academy, Fettes) are nearby. Nearby neighbourhoods: Stockbridge (north), Broughton (north-east), Old Town (south), West End (west), Dean Village (north-west).
