| Comment | Centre is actually less expensive than the burbs a lot of the time in Glasgow.
You really want to rent first until you get the lie of the city - there are good bits and bad bits often either ends of one street. The whole city is small so the "centre" is perfectly reachable from the west end and the south side generally. There are loads of very cheap places on train lines out of town but as a 20 something on £40k I'd start your search maybe around Kelvinbridge or Partick in the west, Strathbungo or Battlefield in the south, or Garnethill in the centre. Sure there are good bits east too but it's not my part of town so others will better advise. There's literally good wee pockets of town everywhere though.
On £40k you'll do fine, not totally baller but you won't struggle. We have a household income of less than that as 2 adults and we're more or less comfortable. |
