While the West End and New Town are unsurprisingly pricey, other areas are far more reasonable.

What the listing says: "Beautifully presented 1 bed "Main Door" apartment in prime "New Town" location. Close to all amenities, CC, and transport links. Accommodation Comprises: Small garden patio onto main door vestibule area. Stylish living room with study area off. Spacious Double bedroom. Breakfasting kitchen with all mod cons. Storage.

The flat comprises of good size living room with dining area, fitted kitchen, one double bedroom, shower room and separate toilet. The property further benefits from double glazing and permit zone parking."
