A guide to living in City of Glasgow

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living in my local area is generally pleasant. There’s a good range of local shops and supermarkets within walking distance, and a few nice restaurants and cafés nearby. Public transport is convenient, with regular buses and nearby train connections, although services can be limited late at night. The area has several open green spaces that are great for walking and relaxing. My street is usually quiet with decent parking availability, though it can get busy at weekends. Bin collections are reliable, and there’s little anti-social behaviour or traffic noise overall.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management has generally been responsive and helpful, addressing issues in a reasonable time, though some minor delays have occurred on a few occasions.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known that parking spaces can fill up quickly in the evenings, especially on weekends. It would also have been helpful to know how waste collection and recycling are organised. Overall, it’s a great place to live once you get used to the routines and local transport options.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location is the best location in Glasgow. Just between the heart of the city centre and the beautiful West End, we have the best of both worlds here. A lot of shops and restaurants in the area. The location is excellent!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Always helpful, efficient, transparent. Excellent overall.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Of all the built to rent accommodation in Glasgow, Moda is definitely the most luxurious, the most spacious, and the one that offer the best location. Knowing this before would have saved me lots of time as I spent a lot of time viewing all the other built to rent accommodation!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area has very limited local amenities. There are no proper shops, restaurants, bars, or green spaces within easy walking distance, meaning you have to travel elsewhere for most basic needs. Public transport options are poor and unreliable, with infrequent services, making it inconvenient if you don’t have a car. The street itself is generally quiet, but there are occasional issues with anti-social behaviour in the surrounding area, particularly in the evenings. Traffic noise can be an issue at times, and parking availability is inconsistent. Bin collections are usually carried out as scheduled. Overall, while the flats themselves are modern and comfortable, the lack of nearby facilities and weak transport links make the area inconvenient for day-to-day living.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management has generally responded well to issues raised. Maintenance requests are acknowledged promptly, staff are professional, and problems are usually resolved within a reasonable timeframe.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how quiet and self-contained the development feels once you’re inside, compared to the surrounding area. It’s also useful to be aware that having a car or planning journeys in advance makes day-to-day life easier, as nearby amenities and transport options are limited. I’d also recommend getting familiar with the building’s access systems and management contact points early on, as that makes settling in much smoother.

Dumbarton oad is roughly 10 minutes away with everything you need. The front desk team are lovely and accommodating! The tube (subway) is close by as well.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Prompt emails and quick action (though I never had massive issues while staying)

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

If you are looking for a modern high rise then you will fit perfectly here.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living in my area has both positive and negative aspects. There are several local shops, supermarkets, and restaurants nearby, offering a decent variety and good quality food options. Public transport is generally convenient, with regular bus services and nearby train connections. However, parking can sometimes be difficult, especially in the evenings. Glasgow council need to work on surrounding areas, bins aren't collected & rubbish everywhere.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

We have had barely any issues but all been solved promptly

Maybe I would opt for an apartment with view to the city rather than the courtyard
