moving to addrosan or salcoats

[masterofdoom]

im interested in moving to one of these areas to make a fresh start i live in scotland myself i just wondered if anyone lives in salcoats or addrossan and can advise me what areas to consider or avoid

you might be best putting this on the Scotsnet board.

We've moved it over!

I've lived in Ardrossan and Stevenson. Dodgy areas in both, and not exactly thriving busy shopping areas. Schools, well, we didn't have children but the local.ones don't get a fantastic report.
The beach in Ardrossan is lovely, and there are lovely places to go nearby. They are very commutable to Glasgow.
If you are happy to report crime and dodgy council tenants, to stand up for yourself you'll do well. Not so if a sponge.
A good community feel for those wishing to engage.
Good luck if you come down.

My sister & her family lives in Saltcoats. They love it. They're only minutes from the beach and everything is within walking distance. They do, obviously, stay down at the front of the town I think they're just one street back from the beach.

My niece & nephew both went to high school in Stevenson, both did very well and are now at uni

They made the move to Saltcoats a couple of years ago now and have never regretted it

ok thanks for feedback ill spend a few days at both salcoats and addrosan and have a look at hose pices too

Look further afield at Irvine or Troon.
