Would anyone be able to give me a good idea of what these areas are actually like? Other than brief house viewings, I've no experience. Particularly looking at living in Tilly so interested to know about Tillicoultry Primary and Alva Academy as the schools for DC, and just how the area is to live in generally.
The houses looked very mixed - on the one street having both fancy and more run down looking houses in some cases. I'm not wanting to jump to conclusions that the run down houses are necessarily "bad" or that crime rates would be higher, etc. if that's not the case.
The pros so far are the stunning views, and lower house prices, and the cons that we'd be a bit further out from everything than we'd hoped (no train station, etc). Wondering what other pros and cons to add to the list!
