Locals Ask
Is parking actually possible near the station?
Unless your flat comes with a private bay, forget it; the council wardens circle this area like vultures.
How do m² stats here compare to the West End?
The average rent per square meter is nearly identical, though Haymarket properties often feel more cramped due to high-density new builds.
What is the investment outlook for a buy-to-let?
Extremely strong, as corporate tenants prioritize the 15-minute tram link to the airport above almost everything else.
Does the tram noise drive down prices?
Not at all; the market clearly values the convenience of the line over the literal screech of the tracks.
Are the older tenements on Dalry Road a better deal?
You might find the lower end of the £21.5/m² range there, but be prepared for high heating costs and significant street noise.
