Is Newton Mearns a good place to live?


Recommended Posts

Any Newton Mearns experiences?

Lots of traffic lights. Thank God for the M77 bypass.

(I used to go to Kilmarnock pretty much monthly on the old road, but since the thing's been built I've probably only been a handful of times going to Ayr and Stranraer away on the bus. Typical, grrrr)

The Mearns itself is nice, though there's that big bland swathe of new-build commuterland out past Patterton station that the estate agents and people who've bought houses there call Newton Mearns but isn't really.

They're also trying to reassign parts there and along stewarton road to Barrhead high catchment. Which isn't going down too well.

Decent and snobby mostly and if your unlucky you'll move next door to a drug baron. A few of them live there, dodgy feckers.

Not really sure about the drug baron stuff. 

 

I spent most of my adult life in newton mearns, couldnt tell you where any drug barons live. 

 

Me n the mrs bought our first house together, in Johnstone. Would you believe, next to a drug baron.

Describe 'unlucky' in this scenario.

Barons usually don't have their stash in their own home for you to pop over and have a few on the house.

There are a few, they just don't advertise it. Let's just say they are legitimate business men importing exotic goods.
