Pele_Is_God Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Well going to see a flat tomorrow evening, hope it's the ''one''. What is the street like? I have relatives in Gorgie and it always seems like a good place to be. I think it's at top of the street number 10. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future's Maroon Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 My mate has stayed in the Street for over five years, nice wee flats. Nice enough area and plenty good public transport to where ever you need to go - and of course five mins from Tynie - you cant lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Reekin' Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 My first flat was at number 12 and I had no major complaints or problems with the street or the area then, although that was nearly 25 years ago. As with all tenement properties, a lot depends on what your stair is like: if the other owners / occupants are decent folk, who respect the common areas of the property and have consideration for their neighbours, then everything should be fine. If not, then there could be problems. That's an issue with most flats, however. I still stay in the general area and think that, in some ways, Gorgie has improved since I lived in Wardlaw St., and in others it has become a less desirable place to stay. It is now more "multi-cultural", which in most ways has been a good thing in my opinion (a greater variety of shops / take-aways, etc.), but I also feel that there is more anti-social behaviour than there used to be and that there is not the same "community spirit" that there once was. (This could be as much to do with me becoming older and more misanthropic than actual changes to the area, I admit...!) Overall, though, it's still an OK area to live in.
