How many streets in NYC, that are the bad areas?

Moving to Glasgow, Advice Opinions on Areas of the City?

  • Hello All, I am moving from italy to Glasgow in the next several months. Hoping to get some local insights on which neighborhoods..... streets I should be concentrating on. I would appreciate some serious opinions so as to help narrow my search. I do realise that this is a rather generic question and maybe somewhat difficult to answer since you do not know me personally. I am a single woman (no children) in my 30's - italian citizen but raised in new york. I am looking for an area that offers shops, pubs/restaurants, galleries etc. all within walking distance. if I can compare with nyc would be more like the downtown areas of Soho and The Village- and less like the Upper West/East Sides. Both in nyc and roma I am used to walking/mass transportation - so an area that doesn't immediately require a car is a plus. Was planning on checking on line websites to find a flat - do you have any to recommend? Thanks, Cari

  • Answer:

    Well if you want somewhere close to shops, restuarants, galleries etc then you need to concentrate on Glasgows West End. Some west end properties - http://www.glasgowwestend.co.uk/property/ You could also think about places in the city centre. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find/Glasgow/Glasgow-City-Centre.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E93616 Avoid east of Glasgow! South side is more suburbia with mostly family houses. Heres a list of suitable websites...

sounds like the West End would suit you best but remember it is also the most expensive area to live in with the highest property prices West end has the subway, and plenty buses Just stay away from the east end in the main I live in the south side in a residential area and can easily access the west end, via the Clyde Tunnel, bus, or subway

s1homes is the best flat-hunting website you can get. I also want to agree with Jan409's comment. I grew up in the East End of Glasgow, and... well, it's not pretty. All I can say is avoid it. Lots of junkies, alcoholics and scum. Of course, we're not all like that. =) It's just not a very nice place to live.
