Hello All!
I currently live rurally in the Borders so not too far from Edinburgh. I have been offered a place to study a Masters at Edinburgh and we are thinking of Moving there as my partner works in different locations anyway, i.e the Borders, Dundee, Glasgow and sometimes even Edinburgh. He says the move might work out better for him and he will be home more!
I am a SAHM and this Masters (which is really a professional qualification) will benefit my career if I stay in Edinburgh long term. And I am fed up of living in the middle of nowhere with no prospects.
Things we have to consider is we have 2 kids, a DD 18 months and DS 8 years (he is ASD). I have a long term condition so can't deal with a commute from Borders into central Edinburgh, but a commute within Edinburgh will be fine. We used to live in London for years so not completely new to city life.
However, where will be quiet and relaxed for my Country-toddler and ASD DS? I don't know Edinburgh that well with regards to actually living there, and I am worried about ending up in a really studenty-bit! We currently live in a field and although we know we won't get as much space in Edinburgh, I would at least like a quiet area.
We are going to be renting and don't want to spend much more than £1000pcm on a 3 bed. Is it possible?
