Does anyone have any recommendations of area/small towns to look around with a view to buying a house to move to with a young family in and around Edinburgh and The Lothians please?
We are hoping to move next year, and trying to get an idea of areas to look at to start narrowing down options.
We will have a 3 year old and a 1 year old when we move, DH is likely to be working in central Edinburgh, so anywhere within an hour commute of there is ideal. I am a teacher so will hopefully be able to work more locally.
Looking for somewhere with access to local shops, parks, swimming etc and good primary school options for the DC. Less concerned about secondary school options at this stage.
I spent some of my teenage years in Edinburgh, and my parents still live there but near Balerno and we would struggle to buy there for the size of house we are looking for.
Budget is around £250,000 for a 3/4 bedroom house which I imagine means we need to look out of Edinburgh realistically.
Any thoughts? We are going to look around Linlithgow and Dalkeith so far.
Thanks!
