Rent in Sciennes, Edinburgh

A small, primarily residential neighbourhood wedged between Marchmont, Newington, and the Meadows. Sciennes (pronounced 'Sheens') is centred around Sciennes Road and the local primary school. It's quiet and leafy, with Victorian tenement flats predominating. The location is superb — the Meadows, the university, and the Royal Infirmary are all within walking distance. Rents are similar to Marchmont, reflecting the quality housing and central location. A well-kept secret for those who want the southside lifestyle without the busier streets.
