Girth Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I’m looking to move to Dundee over the next 3-6 months from England. Any tips etc? I last lived in Dundee 2008-2009. I’m much older and creakier now. Ideally just looking for a one bedroom flat to rent atm so any recommended areas would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 My advice is to get a season ticket to Tannadice. You could then get a flat East Of Dobbies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 There will be new flats on Tannadice street soon. Or a Home Bargains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I worked with a delivery driver who operated all over Central Scotland. All of his best/grimmest stories came from Dundee. He was literally propositioned by a passing Dundonian scheme goblin while I was with him. Didn't seem like I was invited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as nobody who lives there is giving you any advice, I've seen a couple of episodes of Bob Servant and Broughty Ferry doesn't look too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I was there looking for a hardware store. I stopped a local and asked if there was a B and Q in Dundee. "No," he said. "Two D's and two E's" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 My serious answer is I wouldn't live anywhere other than Dundee's leafy West End. Good pubs and restraunts and parks within walking distance and if you stay west of sinderins the actual residential bits are really quiet. Loads of busses if you do fancy venturing East of the Nethergate. I hate the Ferry with a passion but lots of other people seem to like it. The Law is probably OK. Again nice and quiet and walkable to town and the football. Whays your budget? I'm away to sell a house on Hyndford St. I'll give you 1% off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee's an upgrade IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
