| Comment | R/Glasgow has an insanely low tolerance for what makes an area acceptable. Lots of folks here who have walked through Govanhill once or twice, saw some litter, maybe some non-white people, and now talk about it like it is some Favela in Rio…… it’s not. Like at all.
Govanhill has some problems with overcrowding, litter, bed bugs, petty crime, etc but it is rapidly gentrifying and is a very desirable area. I know loads of single young women who live there with no issue. If you have stayed in any larger city before you will think Govanhill is absolutely fine. Make sure to view any flats to make the close is OK (some unfactored buildings and dodgy building) practice common sense and you will be fine. |
