A guide to living in Scotland

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

Being located in the centre of town means that everything works in your favour. Cuisines are endless and with quality. Lots of middle eastern places around especially that are very tasty and, across the river, all other cuisines exist as well as plenty of pubs. The Laurieston is closest and is a legendary pub. Having Central Station within 10 minutes walk is super convenient and there is also Bridge Street Underground within 5 minutes walk. Several bus stops that practically exist on our doorstep is a real bonus. The only slight downside is the noise that comes from train tracks going in and out of Glagow Central Station.

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

Always. Whether it is bathroom-related, electronics or windows, management always comes to fix them.

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

You get to make new friends quickly through the building group chat. You can also easily sell/give away belongings that you no longer need. We dog-sat for a couple of people during our stay through this and enjoyed it thoroughly. Being able to go to the gym in the building is a massive bonus and convenient.

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

The good part of being in this area is it’s quiet and friendly. Surrounding areas are also clean. Local amenities are within 5-10 mins walking distance. You can find Tesco, coop or Sainsbury within 10 mins walking distance. Park is just within 5 mins walk, which I really enjoy on the sunny days. Bus stop is 3-5 mins walk depending on which block you are in. Nothing has bad aspects but at night the surroundings are very quiet and sometimes I see a fox roaming around which scares me a bit.

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

So far I didn’t encounter any problems or issues so it’s not something I can answer.

I live in a lovely and vibrant area with excellent local shops, cozy cafes, and a great variety of restaurants. There are beautiful parks and green spaces nearby, perfect for walking and relaxing. Public transport is very convenient, with frequent buses and metro connections to the city center. My street is quiet and clean, with plenty of parking space and regular bin collections. The neighborhood feels very safe, and the community is friendly. It's a peaceful and enjoyable place to live with no issues at all.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how friendly and welcoming the neighbours are—it really adds to the sense of community here. Also, the natural light in the flat is even better throughout the day than it seemed during the viewing. A tip for new neighbours: the local bakery around the corner is a hidden gem—try it early in the morning before it gets busy!
