What's Jordanhill like?
Jordanhill is a mainly residential area west of Hyndland, with more houses than tenements. It has its own railway station and Victoria Park is close by. Jordanhill School is a grant-aided school with its own catchment arrangements, which families should check directly.
What to check on a visit
Visit at school drop-off and pick-up times, and test the train from Jordanhill to the city centre.
Property and everyday trade-offs
Do not assume a particular school from the area name. Check the catchment for the exact address with the council, and check admission arrangements for Jordanhill School directly with the school.
Three checks before you decide
- Reality-check the budget. Find at least three recent, comparable listings for the size of home you want and compare the total monthly cost. If buying, read the Home Report; if renting, check the landlord registration and deposit protection.
- Test your own journeys at the times you travel, including the walk to your door. A pin on a map is not a commute time.
- Check the address. Council tax band, energy rating, factor fees and the school catchment can all change from one street to the next.
