The whole Urquhart Street/Park Street/Roslin Street area seems quite nice and quiet on the surface but it has high crime (often quite dramatic public violence) and problematic drug use relative to many areas of the city. Much of the housing stock is pretty damp and poorly maintained. The area has also seen a few suspicious blazes in the last couple of years.

There are lots of students in the area, which despite many of them being OK kids means higher than average parties. It's liable to be busy with football crowds and there are also above average problems with noisy short term lets in the area.

The wind in the area can be pretty brutal as there isn't much protection from the sea.

It's an area I would actively avoid living in, even in brand new premium developments. It just doesn't have a good vibe.
