Moving to Glasgow

[kisaki333]

I lived in Glasgow for a couple of years back when I was younger and loved it. At the time, I lived in the city centre (merchant city) and never really got out if the area much - only ventured as far as the west end.
Now, a good few years later, i am in my early 40s, i have a husband, a young child and i live in SE England. More and more I am thinking of going back to Scotland, partially because i loved it there and partially because it's the only place I'd aford to buy a nice house.

For those that are familiar with Glasgow:
What are some nice and safe areas to bring up a child? So far i heard Lenzie and Bearsden. Is Stepps also ok? I see some really nice modern houses there for good prices.

Hi OP, not sure if you've moved yet but it depends on budget and school preferences. I'm a south sider and the market really ramped up property prices here over covid، moreso than the west end which has always done well.

People with kids tend to try to move to East Renfrewshire for schooling that said, I've also heard it's overrated. My friend stays out in Hamilton where property prices are slightly less and good schools nearby.

Let me know if I can help any futher.

Thanks @Glasgowgal2 ! We actually didn't move in the end. We ended up buying a property here in the SE and are staying put for a few years.
There's just too much economic and political uncertainty at the moment. We will reevaluate in a few years. Hopefully the housing market also calms down a bit in the meantime and there'll be more clarity with the referendum etc.

Still dreaming of Glasgow, though! Hopefully one day...
