Grateful to call Riverstone Heights Home

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

Living in Riverstone Heights has been a great experience so far. The area offers a good range of local shops and supermarkets within walking distance, and there are several nice cafes and restaurants nearby, especially around the High Street. For green spaces, the nearby parks are well-kept and perfect for walks or relaxing on the weekends. Transport links are quite convenient—there are multiple bus routes and a nearby station that makes commuting into central London easy. Occasionally, there can be delays during peak hours, but overall the connections are reliable. Our street is generally quiet and residential, with a strong sense of community. Parking is limited, especially in the evenings, so having a permit or private space is important. Bin collections are regular and well-organized. We haven't experienced any anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is minimal considering the area. Overall, it’s a peaceful and well-connected place to live, with a good balance between urban convenience and community charm.

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

The building management has been incredibly responsive and helpful. Any issues we've raised have been addressed quickly and professionally, often within the same day. Their communication is clear, and they genuinely care about residents' comfort and satisfaction.

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

One thing I wish we had known before moving in is that there’s no on-site parking available, and street parking nearby can be quite difficult to find, especially in the evenings or on weekends. If you own a car, it’s something to seriously consider ahead of time. Also, while the building is generally quiet and well-maintained, there can be some occasional traffic noise from the nearby main road. That said, the flat itself is great, and the management team has been genuinely helpful whenever we've needed support.

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

This building is well located, great neighbourhood and location. That's about the only positive thing I can say. There are numerous issues with the building itself and especially A2 dominion who manage it

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

Repairs are no longer taken care of promptly. We waited months for our repair to get gone, eventually gave up and moved out.

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

We had a great run, but it's not the same place anymore, so I don't advise others to move in.

Good connections to the city by underground lines which are very close by. Good range of shops in the surrounding areas too.

I have on occasion raised small repairs and maintenence queries with the building manager Darek who has responded promptly and organized the right people to help out.

Have a walk around the nearby areas as the surroundings are also important

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

This has been a lovely area to live at, the environment around and inside the building both are very pleasant and convenient.

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

Always helpful and quick to reply, I couldn’t be happier

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

I wish I knew that the rail noise could sometimes be louder than I’d like, since when windows are open, it can sometimes get a bit loud… that’s all.

Manager response

Dear Azadeh, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! It’s great to hear that the reception team, especially Saad, has made such a positive impact. The shared areas really do add that extra touch of comfort and community, and it sounds like the rooftop birthday party was a fantastic way to celebrate! We’re so glad you feel at home here and appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Best regards, Darek
