Easterhouse is fairly cut off from the rest of the city - 6 miles outside the city centre. It is even cut off from neighbouring districts Garthamlock and Ballieston by Auchenlea Park and the M8 respectively. On the area's north and western border lies the fields of North Lanarkshire. Only in the past decade has Easterhouse seen many of its tenement housing demolished and new housing replacing the dated flats. Those that remain have been refurbished.
