| Comment | Basically everything west of Vicky road to Pollokshaws road is nice. Lots of nice streets in there. Albert Road and Dixon are both nice streets on the other side of Vicky road. I suspect you don't know the area that well as I don't think you would walk down Albert Road, Prince Edward Street, or Dixon Ave and think to your self "this is a shitehole" unless you have some very strange definition of what that is. Next time you walk through don't be afraid to try a walk down some of the streets west of Vicky road I think you would be really surprised what you find there.
The less nice part I am guessing you are referring to is the area between Vicky Road and Cathcart Road that is gentrifying slower than the western part of Govanhill but is certainly gentrifying plenty. That area certainly has problems with overcrowding and rubbish but it isn't absurdly dangerous or anything. A student would do well to be selective of buildings on and just off Alison street and make sure to have a good look at the close and everything. You can certainly get unlucky with neighbors there. |
