  • Thank you so much! I'll look into those areas and I appreciate the best wishes :) by jbrownn96 (Tue 27th Oct 2020 5:51pm)
  • Yeah I thought so. On exchange, the general vibe was just to stay away from anything south of the River so I'm totally realizing now that was quite the generalization. Glad to hear good things about Shawlands, I'm definitely really considering it now! Would you know if it would be a good place for someone who doesn't have a car? I've looked at the area on the map and it seems quite far from city centre so I wonder if I do need to venture there whether it would be a hassle or not. Thanks again! by jbrownn96 (Tue 27th Oct 2020 6:09pm)
  • That's what I thought, I was shocked that everyone considered the entire city 'rough', even people who lived in the highlands would tell me so. Thanks so much for your reply though I feel much better about exploring those areas! by jbrownn96 (Tue 27th Oct 2020 6:10pm)
  • Yes, I've already applied for my work permit! Now starting to think about flat hunting :) Thanks! by jbrownn96 (Wed 28th Oct 2020 4:24pm)
  • I'm very unfamiliar with all of these areas mentioned. So it looks like I should avoid Duke Street and haghill, annfield, bellfield, carntyne, barlanark, easterhouse areas. Is there any other areas that I should avoid that I'm missing? Should I just avoid living in Dennistoun or any other area in the east side? by jbrownn96 (Wed 28th Oct 2020 4:26pm)
  • Thanks so much for your comment! One of the reasons I love Glasgow so much is how friendly everyone is so I appreciate you taking the time to comment. You actually mentioned one of the things I worry about most with living in the southside! I know there are some really great areas that are safe but I'm quite worried about having to walk through some of the rougher parts (i.e. Gorbals, Govanhill, etc.) alone to get to the city centre. I'm honestly considering just keeping my search within West End & Merchant city for now then perhaps explore southside/eastside once I'm there! by jbrownn96 (Tue 10th Nov 2020 11:39pm)
  • Ok good to know! Looks like I'm safe staying in West end and Merchant city for sure. I think I will stay away from living East/north and maybe just go visit on a weekend. Are there any particular areas that you would recommend in the South? by jbrownn96 (Tue 10th Nov 2020 11:57pm)
