Buying in Muirhead
Muirhead is a small but well-positioned village in North Lanarkshire of roughly 1,850 residents. It sits along the A80 road, forming a continuous urban area with the adjacent village of Chryston. Muirhead benefits from being within close proximity to larger towns such as Cumbernauld (6 miles), Coatbridge (6 miles), and Kirkintilloch (5 miles), and Glasgow city centre (7 miles). As a commuter hub, Muirhead does not have a large commercial or industrial sector but provides access to major employment centres in Glasgow, Cumbernauld, and Coatbridge.
Muirhead has historically been a small rural settlement, originally a village that grew around agriculture and small-scale industries. Like many areas in North Lanarkshire, its expansion was influenced by Glasgow’s urban sprawl and improvements in transport infrastructure during the 20th century. The introduction of major road networks allowed Muirhead to develop as a popular commuter village, with housing and amenities expanding over time to accommodate its growing population.
While predominantly a commuter settlement, there are also some local businesses, the nearby Gartcosh Business Park and Eurocentral Industrial Estate provide additional job opportunities, particularly in logistics, manufacturing, and distribution.
In terms of amenities and things to do, residents benefit from proximity to Glasgow and all the extra amenities and things to do therein. Although, despite being a relatively small village, Muirhead has a good selection of amenities of its own that cater to residents’ daily needs. Chryston has additional shops, a post office, and services. For a larger array of shops and entertainment out with Glasgow, residents can visit Cumbernauld town centre, the Glasgow Fort, or the retail parks in Coatbridge.
Besides shopping, Muirhead benefits from being close to beautiful countryside, ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and an active lifestyle. The nearby Drumpellier Country Park – just about 4 miles away – offers woodland walks, lochside trails, picnic areas, and wildlife spotting. Likewise, Seven Lochs Wetland Park is also a fantastic place for birdwatching, and nature trails is just a short drive away.
In terms of local schooling, the local primary school is Chryston primary school serving Muirhead and nearby areas. Chryston High School and Our Lady’s High School in Cumbernauld are the main secondary school for Muirhead and nearby. Chryston High was recently rebuilt with modern facilities and has a good academic performance.
In March 2025, property in Muirhead has an average value of £228,021. Over the last 12 months however, different property types have had different average prices.
