A mostly rural area until the 1980s, Glasgow has rapidly grown into a suburb with restaurants and shopping centers such as People's Plaza. The real estate here includes single-family homes and condos, and there are several schools in the area, which has attracted young families. While locals complain about the traffic congestion that resulted from development, the area remains accessible to major roads.
