Living in my local area has its ups and downs. On the positive side, we have a decent range of local shops, restaurants, and bars, catering to various tastes and preferences. The quality varies, but there are some gems among them. Open spaces are plentiful, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation.
Transport links are generally convenient, with buses and trains easily accessible. However, there can be occasional issues with delays or overcrowding during peak times, which can be frustrating.
Living on my street is generally pleasant. Parking availability can be tight, especially during evenings or weekends, but it’s manageable. Bin collections are regular and reliable. However, there have been some instances of minor anti-social behavior in the area, which can be concerning but Apo management has it’s private security over night and evening and we feel safe. Overall, it’s a decent place to live.

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 the noise level from neighboring units. While the viewing may not always reveal the full extent of noise transfer between walls or floors, it’s something that can significantly impact your daily life. It’s worth asking current residents about their experience with noise levels to get a better understanding of what to expect. Additionally, checking for soundproofing measures in the unit during the viewing can help assess potential noise issues beforehand.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been quite responsive to any problems or issues I’ve raised. Whenever I’ve reported a maintenance issue or raised a concern, they’ve promptly addressed it, either by sending maintenance staff to fix the problem or by providing updates on the resolution process. Their communication has been clear and courteous, and they’ve always followed up to ensure that the issue has been resolved satisfactorily. Overall, I’ve been impressed with their responsiveness and commitment to addressing residents’ concerns in a timely manner especially Ms Mimi and Mr. Jamal always happy and available to help every resident of Apo Barking.
