| Comment | I lived in Kelvindale for about 18 months, it was alright but I felt a little isolated as there wasn't much to do on the doorstep - even just to go for a coffee etc. was a trip out somewhere. I was in the newer flats and no one really spoke to one another. The canal is very pretty but a lot of it was totally unlit at night and didn't feel the safest. Trains are ok but not the best and you'd need to walk either to Great Western Road or Maryhill road for buses which was a bit of a nuisance.
I live in Bearsden now and honestly it is so much better. The people seem friendlier and you've got all the little shops, cafes, library right on the doorstep. Milngavie is another option nearby that might be worth considering. You're less than 20 minutes on the train into the centre of Glasgow, and I think 11 minutes from Bearsden to the west end so you're not really that removed. |
