Merchant City is a lively, central part of Glasgow with loads of great restaurants, bars, and shops. It’s ideal for people who enjoy city life, with a creative vibe, regular festivals, and strong transport links. However, parking is expensive and limited. Night-time noise from bars and events is common, but green space at Glasgow Green is nearby . It’s a great spot for young professionals and those who love being in the middle of the action, but maybe not ideal for families or anyone looking for peace and quiet. Still, it’s one of Glasgow’s most vibrant areas.

How hot the apartments were going to be in the summer. Aircon would have been a welcome addition to the apartment.

My time at Candleriggs has been absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I’ve had a very good experience living here — the safety and security have always been top notch, which gave me complete peace of mind. The amenities were excellent and made day-to-day living very comfortable, and the overall upkeep of the building was always impressive. The location is ideal, everything is close by and convenient, and the apartment itself felt like home from the very beginning. The staff have also been friendly, professional, and responsive whenever needed, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I genuinely couldn’t ask for more, and I would happily recommend Candleriggs to anyone looking for a safe, well-managed, and welcoming place to live in Glasgow.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is just how safe, quiet, and welcoming the community here would be. From a viewing, you can appreciate the design and facilities, but living here shows how well-managed, secure, and comfortable the development truly is. It has been a very pleasant surprise, and I would happily recommend it to any new neighbour.

Area is lovely with great access to train station and short walk into city center. Lots of things around with tesco only 5 minutes away.

You have to book the meeting rooms in advance as they may not be available on the same day if needed.

The local area is absolutely packed with places to eat, get drinks, grab a coffee, hit the shops and there is a constant stream of events right on your doorstep to entertain. You couldn’t be closer to Argyle Street train station and Central/Queen Street are just a stones throw away. St Enoch subway station is only a five minute walk and there are countless buses that pass by the stop just outside reception. The downside is that car parking is limited although there is an abundance of bike secure bike spaces. Bin collection is generally very convenient however it could be perhaps collected more frequently. At times, particularly on the weekend, the streets can get lively and potentially rowdy however the double glazed window offers sufficient sound proofing.

Perhaps more information on the set up of the bills via Ovo and Homebox would have been beneficial.

The range of local restaurants has decreased - from speaking to past restaurant owners, it seems the rent is very high. This should be considered by the developers as it seems it would be beneficial to have a vibrant restaurant or cafe culture for those that live here and to attract others to the area . The links to local transport are excellent. The immediate outside spaces are very well maintain. I received my parking spot with 4 weeks of moving in, which was excellent. There is daily noise from local construction, but that stops at about 5pm and is absent on Sundays, which works well with my lifestyle and work pattern.

The vast range of people living here - it's been great meeting people from across the world, of various ages and backgrounds. The convenience of access to public transport - I've not used the car in weeks! The reception team - all really helpful and friendly! The soundproofing between apartments is actually better than expected... (Not perfect, but better than expected) You might need an eye mask for sleeping - the blinds are not black out!
