Modern Living with Great Facilities

UNCLE Acton, W3

Nov 2025

UNCLE Acton is a modern, well-designed development with high-quality finishes and spacious, comfortable apartments. The facilities are one of its biggest strengths, especially the fully equipped gym, coworking areas, roof terrace and regular community events like weekly food trucks. The building management team is excellent—always friendly, responsive and quick to resolve any issues. Property management is organised, professional and communicates clearly, making the whole living experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, the development feels safe, well maintained and offers a great balance of comfort, convenience and community.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living in the North Acton area is generally very pleasant, as it’s a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of students around. There aren’t many local shops yet, but it’s conveniently close to Asda and Westfield for anything you need. Transport links are good, although sometimes there are people drinking outside the station. Parking is limited on most streets, but bin collections are reliable and the area overall feels safe with only occasional minor disturbances.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management has always been quick to respond, easy to contact and very efficient. Issues can be booked easily and are usually resolved fast, with on-site maintenance available whenever needed.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that some of the amenities weren’t fully ready at the start, although everything is now working well. I’d also mention that there aren’t many shops nearby yet, but there’s a lot of development planned, so it feels promising. Another thing to be aware of is the HS2 construction next door, which can be noticeable at times (but will be a good addition to Acton).

The building itself is modern, well-designed, and thoughtfully maintained. Apartments are spacious with contemporary finishes and good sound insulation, providing a comfortable living experience. Communal areas such as the lounge, gym, and rooftop terrace are kept clean and create a strong sense of community. Building management is professional and responsive — maintenance requests are handled quickly, and communication is clear. Security is excellent with key fob access and on-site staff. Overall, the property is managed to a high standard, balancing comfort, design, and convenience exceptionally well.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area around Uncle Acton offers a great mix of local shops, cafés, and restaurants, with several supermarkets and takeaways within walking distance. There are also plenty of green spaces nearby, including Acton Park and Gunnersbury Park, ideal for outdoor walks and exercise. Transport links are excellent — Acton Main Line and North Acton stations are both close, providing easy access to Central London and Heathrow. Buses are frequent, although traffic can be heavy during rush hours. The street itself is generally quiet and safe, with good parking availability and reliable bin collections.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building was great in sorting out a dishwasher issue for us, the repair man came, though it took a while.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Bills are quit pricy when you add things up, given council tax band, but all in all great place.

The property is very well designed, from the rooftop terrance, gym and all the high quality appliances within the apartment units. The staff are very friendly and are very quick to respond via email to any concerns or repair issues. The gym is large and contains all the equipment needed- treadmills, Peloton bikes, weights and resistance machines. Unlike some other apartments the gym is a really decent size and usually fairly quiet. Even though I don't personally use the rooftop terrace much, the top floor has a co-working space that is kitted out with desks and screens. There is an even a hosting room with large table, kitchen appliances and tv for inviting friends and family over. However, the property is a on the pricy side and unfortunately I personally don't see it as my long term rental property given the price of around £2,185 for a one bed (starting from).

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

North Acton is fairly quiet and was previously a heavily industrialised area, which has now transitioned to residential properties. There is a Tesco Express and Sainsbury's local within a 2 minute walk from the apartment block. The tube line (central) is within a 3 minute walk and very convenient for commuting to central London. Noise levels are low, you can hear the tube line, but you get used to it. Never had any issues with anti-social behaviour.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Any problems I have been raised have been address the same day or next, and usually Dilip, FM manager, will come up my apartment to investigate the issue himself. He is also really friendly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The prices on the website aren't always correct and you can expect to be paying more than that.
