A guide to living in Berkshire

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

I relocated from London and Maidenhead has been a really positive change. The Elizabeth line means I can still be at my desk in the City within 40 minutes, but I come home to a quieter, greener setting. The riverside around Boulter's Lock and Ray Mill Island is beautiful for after-work walks.

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

Brilliantly. Oxana A responds to queries within hours and always follows up.

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

Nothing, everything was well presented by Oxana and I have nothing to comment in this section.

The area is absolutely fantastic, especially if you have children. There are several well-equipped playgrounds nearby, and the area feels very safe. Everything you need is close by, from schools to sports centres. There aren’t many supermarket options, but with a car, you can get wherever you need to go within 5 minutes. An ideal location if you’re looking for safety, peace and quiet, and a great place to raise your children.

Slough has it's reputation as is, but the location of the property in my eyes is perfect, across the border of Zombie Land (the high street) just about far away enough for to avoid the nonsense of the area, but close enough to walk to all the places you need to; the high street, the station is literally 5 mins away, all the shops and big supermarkets you need. The parks just around the corner are amazing and peaceful, so close to Eton and Windsor. Also the GP is literally across the road which is amazing.

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

Any issues I have are communicated and understood very well to and from building management,

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

Understand the building's delivery in terms of large deliveries and organise yourself in advance or use the pickup at a location like the Londis right in front of the property.

I have really enjoyed living in this area. There is an excellent range of local shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and cafés, all within easy reach, making day-to-day life very convenient. The area also offers several well-maintained parks and open spaces, which are great for walking, exercising, and relaxing. Transport links are very good, with convenient access to buses, train stations, and major road networks, making commuting and travelling straightforward. The street itself is quiet, friendly, and well-kept. Parking has generally been readily available, bin collections are reliable, and I have not experienced any significant issues with anti-social behaviour. Overall, it is a pleasant, safe, and convenient place to live, and I would happily recommend the area to others.

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

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

Based in the heart of Slough, we have an amazing access to all the restaurants and shops. The street is not too noisy at night either as the windows and the overall construction do a good job at drowning it out.

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

Yes, luckily we haven’t had any issues just queries, they are pretty good at responding. Although it is best to track them down in person.

Nothing, I am pretty happy with all the information I was provided.
