Livingston is the second biggest town in the Lothians after Edinburgh, with a population of approximately 50,000. Up until 1962 Livingston was open farmland surrounding a fairly ancient village on the road from Edinburgh to Glasgow. After 40 years of spectacular growth, what was once "Livingston New Town" has for some time been known as Livingston. Estate agents in Livingston say the key factor in Livingston's success has been its location. Lying just 15 miles west of Edinburgh it has benefitted from the capital's economic success in recent years. The result has been a boom in house building, accompanied by high levels of investment in shopping and other services in the town. There is a good selection of property for sale in Livingston, including apartments in purpose built modern blocks, terraced houses, executive style detached villas, bungalows and town houses.
