Upper Craigie sits within Perth, benefiting from the city's strong transport links and everyday amenities while offering a quieter residential feel. Rail access is a standout feature across the surrounding area, with the train and bus station close by and quick links to the A9 and M90 making onward travel straightforward whether you're commuting or driving further afield. Air quality throughout is excellent, and running costs tend to sit below the UK average, largely thanks to lower transport bills and council tax. Families are well served here, with a good spread of primary schools including Tulloch, Letham and Our Lady's RC, alongside options like Craigclowan Prep and Strathallan for those wanting independent schooling. Secondary provision, specialist education and further education through UHI Perth and a local college round out the choices as children grow older. Healthcare is a genuine strength too, with hospitals, GP practices and dentists all within easy reach, giving residents confidence they won't need to travel far for appointments. Day-to-day life is well supported by a solid mix of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and convenience stores, with the city centre offering the densest concentration of shops and dining while surrounding neighbourhoods provide a more local, walkable feel. Rents remain genuinely affordable compared to Edinburgh or Glasgow, with one-bedroom homes around £522 and larger family houses available for those needing more space. Taken together, Upper Craigie offers a practical, well-connected base, combining city convenience with the lower living costs and green surroundings that make Perthshire appealing to families and commuters alike.
