Comely Bank
Comely Bank sits in north Edinburgh, benefiting from the strengths of the surrounding Inverleith, Forth and Corstorphine/Murrayfield neighbourhoods. Schools are a standout feature of this part of the city, with Fettes College, Stewart's Melville, The Edinburgh Academy and ESMS Junior School all close by, alongside well-regarded state primaries and nurseries. Everyday life is well catered for too, with cafes, independent shops and restaurants nearby, plus 17 parks in Inverleith alone, giving residents plenty of green space without having to travel far.
Transport and healthcare are consistently strong across the area. You'll find GPs, dentists and a local hospital within easy reach, while good road links and cycling routes make getting around straightforward, whether you're heading into the city centre or further afield. Living costs run below the UK average on transport, which is a welcome bonus given how central and well-connected this part of Edinburgh is.
Air quality is excellent throughout, and crime levels across the neighbouring areas are low, pointing to a settled, family-friendly character. Comely Bank itself benefits from this mix of leafy surroundings, strong school options and practical amenities, making it a popular choice for families and professionals who want easy access to central Edinburgh without sacrificing space or quality of life.
