Advice on good areas to live in Glasgow after retirement

[Oldwuman]

I am looking to move to Glasgow, just retiring but I am not ready for the twinset & pearls just yet! I like to eat out, am social and love the gym, theatre and learning new things. Just wanting some advice as to where is good to live and where to avoid.

What is your budget? Are you looking for a house or flat, or do you not mind?

Southside. Not sure what your budget is but areas like Muirend and Cathcart have good transport links and services. Not quite as expensive as neighbouring East Renfrewshire.

Agree about Southside. Muirend and Cathcart mentioned above are very nice, well-connected and safe. Battlefield, Mount Florida and Langside are a bit livelier, with more restaurants, events etc - but cost a little more. All comes down to budget!

West End or Bearsden/Milngavie, but as previous posters have said it will depend on your budget!

I am looking at 2 bedrooms ground floor flat or house up to £300k.

Definitely Battlefield or Langside.

Something like this will go for around 300k, or just under.
