Living in Glasgow’s Southside
Glasgow’s Southside offers all the benefits of a residential setting within the heart of a lively community. Pollokshaws is a safe, family friendly suburb but within easy reach of Glasgow City Centre. It’s a quieter area of Glasgow with a rural, community vibe – and when it comes property, you’ll get more for your money than you will in the City Centre. What’s more, the Southside has an abundance of history from Pollok Park to Hampden Park as well as a whole host of incredible amenities.
You’ll find a wide choice of shops, restaurants and entertainment in the Pollok area and if that doesn’t satisfy then the exceptional transport links will take you to the City Centre in a matter of minutes or Edinburgh in around an hour.
The Southside has become a magnet for young professionals and families looking for a residential setting close to Glasgow’s amenities and with affordable housing options. Pollokshaws is an up-and-coming area that strikes a great balance of affordability and lifestyle as well as offering a great return on investment when purchasing your first home.
Transport
Transport in the area is easily accessible, with frequent buses, trains and road links to keep the Southside well-connected to the heart of Glasgow. There are also park and ride options from a variety of locations close to Pollokshaws.

Living in Pollokshaws, you’re never far away from a green space or sporting facility. Glasgow has more green space per mile than any other UK city and 20% of Glasgow’s land area is dedicated to urban green space including cycle routs, parks and rail and road corridors. The Highlands are just 45 minutes away and you can also reach the coast within an hour.
If golf is your game then this is an ideal location, with many golf courses within easy reach of Glasgow. It’s also home to many world-renowned football and rugby clubs as well as Scotland’s national football team.
