About Lochar
Lochar's a quiet, rural neighbourhood where your money goes further. Living costs are genuinely low, and the crime record is exceptional — there have been no incidents recorded over the past three years.
You can get around without a car thanks to the railway station right here in the neighbourhood. Families get good state schools to choose from, including several primaries and Dumfries High School, plus plenty of space that you won't find in busier areas.
Rents are affordable compared to Scottish averages. Supermarkets and pharmacies are just outside the neighbourhood boundary, so you're never far from what you need. For leisure, you've got local golf courses, sports centres and museums on your doorstep.
Council tax and transport costs are lower here too. Add in the clean air and you've got a genuinely appealing place if you're after somewhere calmer and better-connected.
