throbber Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 As Knightswood Bear rightly stated, welcome to Scotland’s best city.If you’re looking for somewhere that isn’t going to break the bank, I would recommend Dennistoun. You’ll get much more for your money in comparison to the west end, and ample parking, depending on which street you are looking at. Good transport links from Alexandra Parade/Duke St, both buses and trains, which would allow you easy access to the subway at Buchanan St/St Enoch.The commute would be murder, and mental expensive. My girlfriend works in Edinburgh three days a week, leaving the house at 7am and rarely back before 7pm. No life if you’ve got to do that five days a week.Once again, well done on making the right choice.Telling someone they have made the correct decision by moving from Edinburgh to Glasgow and then recommending they move to Dennistoun is one of the most absurd things I have ever read. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Heard that Craiglang is quite nice. Friendly locals, welcoming boozer, well stocked corner shop (no Midouri though). Have been told that the local bookie is a bit shady though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Don’t commute, that’s mental. Plenty of great places to stay in Glasgow. I’d offer up Denistoun if no one has yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to get the collective of P&B's advice , what's it like to live there? Which areas should I be looking at in terms of living there for a reasonable rent? Will I be murdered? Cheers all. Move to Falkirk. Best of both worlds. 20 mins on the train to both 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people drive two hours in the morning and then again at night to get home, and that can be extended with bad weather or roadworks. I've got colleagues who get up at 4am to come into the office. Madness. London is wild for that. The choice is basically pay a small fortune to live an hour from the office, or a large fortune to live half an hour away. I spend an hour each way on the train here but I can at least console myself with the fact that I pay around 50% of the rent I would pay if I lived in the city I work in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballantines Distillery has been demolished, flats & houses are being built on it's waterfront site. A Chivas bottling plant is all there is in Dumbarton now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness. It's, for many, a lifestyle choice. £1M will get you a small 3 bed flat in Islington with shite state schools. Where I live £1M will get you a reasonable 4 bed house, some of the best grammar schools in the country and an hour's commute of central London. Oh and at least 3 vegan cafes within walking distance. Stretch it by an hour and you can have, for £1M, your own paddock and barn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
