I am looking to rent short term so wouldnt want to pay a high rent at the same time would need somewhere decent. I amy possibly buy my own house/flat after a year, again what would be good places for this, close to scholls and citycentre with good tansport links

The West End is a lovely area but house prices and rent are more expensive there too. Dennistoun and Shawlands are also nice areas with good transport links etc.
