Netherlee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Netherlee is a small, affluent residential area (population 4,740) in Greater Glasgow, and admistratively part of East Renfrewshire Council.
Its residents have a mainly professional background, and it is increasingly attracting wealthy young families.
Both are attracted by the area's proximity to Glasgow city centre, 15 minutes by train from Muirend or Clarkston stations (on each side of the area) and around 25 minutes by bus (routes 66 and 44).
Families are also encouraged into the area by its excellent school provision. Netherlee Primary school is a feeder for Williamwood High School in Busby. Williamwood School has an excellent reputation and recently moved to a new building, the old one having been criticised by Her Majesty's Inspectorate in a school inspection. The Roman Catholic St Ninian's High, in Giffnock, has an equally good reputation. It is not uncommon for both schools to come top in the league tables.
Netherlee is well served by local amenities: there is a plethora of local businesses, clothing stores, newsagents, hairdressers and even a nail bar. The area also borders Linn Park, a popular and pretty mainly wooded area which includes walking trails, football pitches, and a public golf course. The district also includes Williamwood Golf Club, which is private.
