A place to call home: Young family's joyful move to modern home in Edinburgh development

Happy Buyer at West Craigs Green

Many factors contribute to making the family home perfect. Access to excellent local schools, green spaces for children to play and enjoy, and good transport links to ease the pressure of commuting to work all contribute to creating the ideal place to settle down. These exact considerations led Prerit Mehrotra and his family to choose Cruden Homes’ West Craigs Green development in Edinburgh.

Following their stay in a nearby flat, Prerit, his wife, and their young daughter were looking for a more spacious and accommodating environment. Their search led them to the West Craigs Green sales office, where they viewed a three-bedroom terraced home. Prerit said: "We quickly found our dream home when visiting the West Craigs Green sales office, with spacious rooms to fit our family's needs and a garden for our daughter to enjoy playing outside."

The new home offers ample space and a welcoming community, which the Mehrotras have already embraced. Their daughter has recently learned to ride a bike and enjoys cycling to the nearby park, where she meets other children in the development. "It’s a new community, but we’ve quickly formed nice relationships with the families around us. There’s a real sense of community already," Mr. Mehrotra added.

West Craigs is known for its excellent local schools, green spaces, and convenient transport links to Edinburgh city centre, making it an ideal location for families. The development features a variety of home types, including terraced and semi-detached villas and townhouses, and spacious apartments - all designed with modern living in mind.

The transition to their new home was seamless, thanks to the support provided by the Cruden Homes team. "Moving house can be a stressful experience, especially when you have young children - but our experience has been really easy, with lots of support from the Cruden team to make sure our home was just right for us moving in. Ashley Ridley, the sales advisor, and Paul McGuire, the site manager, have been absolute stars, helping us get settled and dealing with any of the niggling issues that come with moving house," Mr. Mehrotra expressed gratefully.

One of the highlights for the Mehrotras was the show home, which featured a master bedroom that stood out for its spaciousness. "The show home was a massive draw for us moving in - my wife and I loved the master bedroom, which is really spacious in a way that you don’t normally find in homes this close to Edinburgh," Mr. Mehrotra remarked.

Hazel Davies, Sales and Marketing Director at Cruden Homes said: “We are thrilled to see families like the Mehrotras enjoying their new homes at West Craigs Green.

“Our goal is to create vibrant, sustainable communities where families can thrive, and we’re proud to see that vision come to life here.”
