| - | The west end of Glasgow is full of life: Museums, Gardens, Universities, bars, restaurants and sandstone tenements all combine to make it a bustling hive of activity. More expensive that most other parts of Glasgow, it's a desirable area mostly inhabited by professionals and students. Much of it is located around Byres road and Great Western Road. The Northwest of the city includes areas that are further west than the trendy "West End" and those north of Great Western Road as you cross beyond [[Anniesland]] Cross. The northwest is generally less expensive the further you head away from the hustle and bustle, but the obvious trade-off being that travel times and ease of transport become more of a consideration. | + | The west end of Glasgow is full of life: Museums, Gardens, Universities, bars, restaurants and sandstone tenements all combine to make it a bustling hive of activity.

| - | ===== North Glasgow===== | + | ==== North Glasgow==== |
| North Glasgow is, very roughly speaking, the areas of the city that are north of the M8 motorway. By and large, this section of Glasgow has higher crime rates, more poverty and deprivation, rougher in appearance and features less amenities than other areas of the city. That said, there are still a handful of good places in north Glasgow to live in and you will be able to seriously stretch a budget in these areas as rental costs in the north are among the lowest the city has to offer. Some areas of the north have seen improvement and there does exist some very good residential pockets. Whenever someone is considering moving to the north of Glasgow, it is highly recommended that you do your homework, check who the neighbours are and don't make any rash decisions. | North Glasgow is, very roughly speaking, the areas of the city that are north of the M8 motorway.
