| Comment | Edinburgh is a much prettier, fancy, nice part to live in but it is ridiculously expensive.
Glasgow is like Edinburgh’s drunken cousin who’s a riot - fun but in small doses. Not as pretty (it is pretty in parts, like where Batman was filmed) but yeah. It’s tough here for the rental market.
I’ve lived in both Edinburgh and now Glasgow. I can’t wait to get back to Edinburgh. It’s just much more my kind of city.
Edinburgh I was paying 400-500 to rent with housemates. Within city limits (not that bad), was by the Dean village for one place - beautiful.
Now I pay 725 for my own flat with my partner on Sauchiehall street in Glasgow. We’ve a nice flat - it has underfloor heating- but it’s tiny. But moving is not an option because the market is crazy right now.
Everyday there is a homeless person outside my door. Every weekend it is so loud on my street because this street is full of cheap bars.
If I were you, I’d chose Edinburgh- portobello, or around the Edinburgh zoo, or if you can get in the city limits like EH11 and brunt’s field are really nice areas to live.
If you are choosing Glasgow, the west end, finnieston are nice. |
