A guide to living in Birmingham

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

The location is brilliant. Being right next to Cannon Hill Park gives you so much peace and quiet, and because the building isn't boxed in by other high-rises, you get beautiful, open views that you just can't find anywhere else in the B5 area. Well-connected to city centre with less than 10 min by bus. Aldi is right over the street 🙂 PureGym is in Corkfield building but you need to pay separate membership (it's not free for residents) EV parking is available and you pay a fixed amount for parking and you can use it unlimited.

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

It is pretty quick and always they are looking for some improvement. Of course sometimes problem or issues happen, but they are keen to resolve it and communicate with residents well. They provide monthly newsletter and updates regarding any issues or scheduled events in our community.

Recently moved up from Wales for work, and couldn't have found a better place to live for someone new to the city. The building has a bus and a tram stop outside, or is only a 15 minute walk, for going into the city center. There's a supermarket opposite and a cinema behind. It's on the border of Edgbaston Village, which has some high end bars and restaurants.

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

Problems or issues are dealt with immediately. Issues are raised via an app and are resolved by the time I get home from work the next day. A report of any work is logged on the app. Extremely efficient.

I have lived in this beautiful apartments for some months now and I will say that it worth the money, I do not enjoy dirty environment and this apartment is super clean. I would recommend this for all working class individuals. Finally, it’s furnished which makes it easy to rent and occupy. I greatly recommend this apartment for everyone, thanks.

Promptly or timely. They will attend to ensure things are put in proper perspective

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

Parking fee, I think it’s on the high side. Something should be done about this to allow lots of residents patronise the parking space than park outside.

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

The area is very convenient, with Aldi, Morrisons, Asda Express, and Costa all within walking distance. Cannon Hill Park is also nearby and is a great place for walks, exercise, and family time. It's close to Birmingham city centre, but without the noise and crowds that come with living right in the centre.

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

Any issues raised are dealt with quickly and professionally, and they always try to resolve problems as soon as possible.

Nothing major comes to mind. Overall, it has been a very smooth and positive experience living here.
