THE "best" place to live in Glasgow has been revealed in a new report.
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 proved popular with the G41 and G42 postcodes coming in second and third place respectively.
Postcodes beyond Glasgow also made the list, with G74 (East Kilbride and Thorntonhall) and G72 (Cambuslang, Blantyre and some of East Kilbride) 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.
There has been an 89% increase in people moving to Glasgow in 2023 compared to 2022.
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.”
