Rent in Polwarth, Edinburgh

A residential neighbourhood south of Fountainbridge with a quiet, settled character. Polwarth is centred around Polwarth Gardens and Harrison Park along the Union Canal — a lovely spot for walking and sitting in summer. Housing is mainly traditional tenement flats with some larger period properties. Rents are slightly below neighbouring Bruntsfield, making it an attractive alternative for those who want a similar southside feel at a gentler price point. Good bus connections to the centre (15 minutes), and Bruntsfield's shops are a short walk away.
