Usage
Hazlehead comprises a mixture of flats, houses and residential tower blocks. It was originally a council estate although many homes are now privately owned. The council's idea behind the Hazlehead Estate was that there should be much open space, which would be accessible to all. As a result of this, a large number of houses in the area lack a private garden. Hazlehead can be accessed by public transport a short walk from Woodend Queens Road First Aberdeen service 11 & Stagecoach services 4, 5, 6 & 6A.
