Demand in houses for sale Glasgow Southside

Glasgow South continues to be one of the most sought after areas for house hunters in the city, with Shawlands topping the scales when it comes to popularity. But just what is it that makes the area so in demand?

Situated just on the outskirts of Glasgow City Centre, the area allows homeowners to enjoy the best of both worlds. The quietness of suburban living and the social/nightlife aspects of the city.

As well as this, the area has a great cafe culture and community feel, as well as being dog friendly throughout – all complemented by the many neighbouring large parks.

So if you have a home in the area and you’ve been debating making a move, it seems like there’s no time like the present to get in touch with your local Estate Agents.

Read on to find out why.

 

Homeowners are looking for more space and a sense of the outdoors

Since lockdown, more people have begun to work from home, this means that homeowners are seeking larger spaces for a better work/life balance.

Known for their high ceilings, decorative coving and large fireplaces, this is why the large sandstone tenement buildings in the Southside are now becoming the starting point for many a house hunt.

As well as this, locality to the likes of Queen’s Park and Pollok Park is also key, as it provides the ideal opportunity to unwind after a long day or week.

 

The variety and heritage of property type in the area

However it’s not just tenement buildings that generate interest in the area, there are also a number of period properties, as well as new builds in Glasgow’s Southside.

It is this eclectic mix which attracts such a diverse group of individuals to the area and creates the unique and wonderful local community that Shawlands is known for.

It is this group that brings in the small independent businesses and the local markets with their support local, community ethos – making for an all round great place to stay and live.

 

The variety of bars and restaurants locally

And with this amount of bars and restaurants on your doorstep, you may not even have the need to travel any further than your local neighbourhood for a night out with friends – again another draw to the area.
