Foxbar gained a reputation for being one of the best areas to live in the town with its mix of large and middle class homes located in a semi-rural environment, as well as an even larger number of affordable working class homes in the form of tenements and tower blocks which provided modern features as indoor toilets. Regeneration begun in the 1990s with construction of many new private estates like Amochrie Glen and some tenemental districts were emptied to make way for more new developments.
