Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is an amazing area to live in. It is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of city centre but is still a walkable distance if you want to go into town. They have a range of shops all around including the Tescos which are also a walkable distance. The only downside I would say is the hills which is a problem all over Birmingham but just makes it difficult to when coming back from travelling or moving. The transport is also easily accessible with a train and tram station right beside it as well as bus stops nearby.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes I was having issues with my router for the WiFi box and they were able to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I wish I knew was how easily accessible this place was to the restaurants and to the amenities that they have outside of apartments. I do not have to walk far for any of these places
