| Comment | I wouldn't take the SIMD map to gospel, since it's got Calderwood marked as blue and areas like East Mains and West Mains in orange/red.
I've lived here all my days and it's more than okay. It is one of the best value places for money these days. What you're getting for your cash is unmatched but as previously mentioned, it comes with travel link restrictions so driving is necessary. And I guess to counteract that, EK is a bit insular, but maybe that's more noticeable by being raised here. Also for all the things you do have on your doorstep, you kind of start to realise everything else that's a bit further out is a bit better. The shopping centre is a dive these days. EK lacks independent shops, most cafes/sit ins are institutionalised and drinkeries, especially in the village, can be a bit old man-y. I think EK lacks a bit of "trendiness", but these things aren't to take away from the good of living here. If you really like the house I'd go for it. |
