Buying in Glenboig
Glenboig is a quiet commuter village in North Lanarkshire of roughly 3,000 residents located just a few miles northeast of Coatbridge and around 12 miles from Glasgow. Glenboig’s history is deeply tied to Scotland’s industrial past. The village was renowned for its fireclay brick manufacturing, an industry that thrived from the 19th century until the late 20th century. The Glenboig Union Fireclay Company, founded in the 1830s, played a crucial role in providing fire-resistant bricks for shipbuilding, steelworks, and industrial furnaces across the world.
As industrial demand declined in the late 20th century, Glenboig underwent economic shifts, moving towards residential development. The village has expanded significantly in recent years, attracting new residents due to its affordability and accessibility. Present-day Glenboig is a thriving and growing commuter village with a mix of older homes and newer housing developments. The population has increased in recent years due to investment in new housing, particularly family-friendly estates. The village retains a semi-rural feel while benefiting from the infrastructure of the wider North Lanarkshire area. For larger retail and entertainment options, residents often travel to Coatbridge or Glasgow.
Glenboig itself has limited employment opportunities, but its close proximity to the The Gartcosh Business Interchange, which has over 170,000 square meters of business space housing various enterprises provides nearby employment opportunities.
