the development is one of the most stylish developments that I have seen in the area, and it has a very distinct design style. It has a lot of significant places that you can see. The rooftops are amazing. You can see many points in them that are very beautiful, and you can enjoy them a lot. I have been here for six, seven months and I am still not tired of the design of the development. There are also lots of facilities that we use, like a well-equipped gym, and we use the rooftop to get fresh air on sunny days a lot. The management and property managers are good now. They take care of everything that you need, everything that is possible. I cannot say more about them because they are great.

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

It’s Wembley Stadium, and obviously, there are a bunch of shops here and there is no doubt about that. Still, with the London Designer Outlet it goes beyond expectations in terms of accessibility to everything. The only downside of the neighbourhood is something that depends on your personality because on game days the area is closed off and also full of people, if you like to have a crowded and lively area it would be better for you but if not about 20 days a year it discomfort you.

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

At this moment, the building management issues are solved and they are great right now.

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

Actually, I have researched the area and the building. I have seen a lot of buildings around here and in other neighborhoods, and I have no regrets or anything I wished to do before moving here. I love here.

Madison, Wembley Park, HA9

Jun 2026

We've lived in Madison for 2 years now, and have previously lived in another Quintain building. Madison is a wonderful building to live in, the apartments are spacious, well-designed and any issues are promptly sorted by maintenance. The Residents Team are phenomenal, always willing to help and always welcoming you home. They make all the difference in making a rented apartment feel like home, and even as staff, they add so much value to the great community that has been created in Wembley Park. There is multiple common spaces that are also available to rent for private events and a great variety of outdoor spaces. These communal spaces are frequently cleaned and maintained, there is no blame on the building team when things aren't up to standard as this is usually down to other residents, however this is always sorted quickly and with a smile. We love living at Madison and hope we can continue to live here.

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

Good Aspects: It's in a great location, very close to public transport and feels very safe as a woman who commutes to work at all hours. There is always security around and it is well lit. If you have a dog, lots of the nearby stores/bars/cafes are dog friendly and the building has private dog parks which are so handy when you live in an apartment block. Bad Aspects: There can be a lot of noise from the Nursery below. Have to walk the long way round if there is an event on as no two-way system.

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

They always respond promptly. You can contact them via the app, via email or go down in person to speak to the friendly team on the desk. Last issue we had that required maintenance, they turned up 10 minutes later. A problem we had with another resident was investigated accordingly, and they spoke with me to let me know what action had been taken and the outcome. They keep us up to date with any issues we raise, even if it does seem like there has been no solution.

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

I wish I'd known the nursery below us was open air - it's the only caveat to our current flat is hearing Baby Shark on repeat. I also wish I'd known they didn't allow two-way system on event days. All you would need is a small section cordoned off for people heading against the crowd when an event lets out, instead of making residents walk the long way round which is darker and feels unsafe. Also not suitable if you have mobility issues/wheelchair or pram.

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

Best location in wembley park. Gym, grocery store in the same building. However sometimes too noisy due to the building being super close to the stadium. But windows are sound proof

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

Response time is fair enough however sometimes part replacements have taken a bit longer than expected

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

I wish I would have checked the property in the morning. It becomes a bit darker (lack of sunlight) since it faces the stadium on the back side

Wembley

Perhaps best-known for its sporting and entertainment credentials, Wembley actually has plenty more strings to its bow. The world-famous Wembley Stadium and revamped SSE Arena are certainly highlights, but the area has been transformed in recent years into a highly appealing residential neighbourhood. Significant redevelopment works have seen Wembley emerge as a stylish and contemporary hotspot with a varied selection of award-winning new homes, bucketloads of culture and a surprisingly well-developed foodie scene. Thanks to its melting pot of nationalities, Wembley is something of a window onto the world. Wembley restaurants traditionally spanned spice-scented tandooris and exotic Middle Eastern eateries, with Polish delis and oriental health stores dotting the high streets. Now, casual and fine dining options have been added to the menu, along with dozens of street food vendors and even a bakery school by renowned Borough Market bakery Bread Ahead. Truly a foodie heaven with something for everyone.
