More and more people are choosing to live in the West End and Southside areas of Glasgow, according to research. The G12 postcode area, which includes Hyndland, Kelvindale, Hillhead, and Dowanhill, is considered the best place to live in the city. Glasgow's Southside, with the G41 and G42 postcodes, also ranks high in popularity. Lower house prices compared to London and Edinburgh are cited as the main reason for the influx of people moving to Glasgow.
More and more people are flocking to the West End of the city, specifically the G12 postcode area which covers Hyndland, Kelvindale, Hillhead and Dowanhill. This is according to research from the removals comparison site Compare My Move, which measured the most popular locations as the 'best' in the city to live.
Glasgow's Southside also proves popular with the G41 and G42 postcodes coming in second and third place respectively. Postcodes beyond Glasgow also made the list, with G74 and G72 coming in at fifth and sixth place respectively. The report found the reason for the surge of people moving to Glasgow compared to London and Edinburgh was based on lower house prices.Dave Sayce, founder and managing director of Compare My Move, said: “With a lower cost of living, and low house prices, but maintaining such a good quality of life, I’m not surprised by the popularity of Glasgow in 2023 and expect this trend to continue into 2024. However, popularity is going to impact the market, and as we can see Glasgow’s West End already boasts the highest price in the area. "We expect that this popularity won’t be as evident if the house prices rise much more, and the south of Glasgow or even central Glasgow may take its place.”Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
