I wish i knew that the building next doors garbage sometimes is left outside on the street which is not a pleasant sight to see and it flies around when it gets windy.

The location is ideal for me. There's a gym right on my doorstep, an Aldi just a minute walk away, and a beautiful park only a few minutes from the building. Bus stops directly outside make it quick and easy to get into Birmingham city centre, and Moseley Village is also within walking distance. There's a great balance of convenience, green space, and excellent transport links.

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

While being here, I've not had any issues to be raised.

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

The nearest high street is Moseley Village, a 15/20 minute walk away. It's not a big deal but worth noting.

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

Location is good close to city centre upto 15 - 20mins by public transport and up to 10 mins by car or motorcycle depending on traffic. Right next Edgbaston cricket stadium, Cannon hill park great space for a run or casual walks, close to nearby Moseley area and there’s a wildlife conservation park nearby too and a few local shops Aldi been the closest. It’s a main road but it’s fairly quite as it connects to high streets further. Gets busy during event days and parking can be an issue but generally fine.

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

Yes, deliveries, amenities bookings, etc all good. However the rental administration side is abit challenging sometimes can be confusing but gradually gets sorted.

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

There are good link of public transport but only buses and certain times waiting time can be long.
