Trinity
Quiet, residential, and surprisingly close to the Firth
About Trinity
Trinity sits between Granton's industrial edge and Leith's energy, and inherits the best of neither — which is actually a selling point. It's just quiet, pleasant, and residential in a way that's hard to find at this price point. The tram runs along Newhaven Road to the south, connecting to Leith and the city centre. Newhaven Harbour is a short walk, with a growing cluster of good restaurants. Trinity Academy is well-regarded. The streets are wide, tree-lined in places, and the housing is solid Victorian and inter-war stock. For families who've researched Edinburgh thoroughly, Trinity keeps appearing as an intelligent choice.
