The area is convenient and pleasant to live in. There is a good range of local shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés within walking distance, and several green open spaces nearby. Transport links are very convenient, with easy access to the underground and buses, making it straightforward to get around the city. Occasionally there is some traffic noise, especially if the windows are open, but it is generally manageable. The street feels safe and well-maintained, bin collections are regular, and serious anti-social behaviour is rare.

Communication is clear, and problems are usually resolved within a reasonable timeframe.

It is very easy to get into the centre of Glasgow from Granary Quay, but we found Partick and Byres Road have plenty to offer without having to go into the centre. It is also only a short drive from Braehead shopping centre which has a broad range of shops on offer, whilst avoiding the busy streets in the centre of Glasgow.
