Exceeded our expectations, very sociable and a fabulous team who interact with all the residents!

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

The positives living here are the local amenities on the doorstep being in close proximity to the Sainsbury’s and a wide range of restaurants is very convenient. We would also like to say it has a very good feel everyone is very friendly and if we wanted quiet that’s ok if we want to mix we can do that too. We don’t hear any noise either. The downside I would say is parking although it is offered for a price it can be extremely expensive if you had two cars.

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

Yes as I have said nothing has been an issue if they have been busy they will always come back later that day!

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

After one viewing we knew that it would be a very sociable place to live. Having a dog can also be a great way of making new friends. Having a community board is also a great way of getting to know your neighbours, activities too would be a fab way of getting to know people.

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

Important and good for me: center of the city, next to the train and bus stations, next to local shops and pet shops, next to the parks for a walking.

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

all staff are very friendly and answer all my questions. My window issue was fixed the same day when I posted the ticked. This is amazing!

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

this is my first experience of renting in UK, and it was so difficult to find a pet-friendly place + furnished one so I was happy when I was approved. Other things was not important for me.

The facility is well designed and each apartment offers a different view of the MK community

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

With the Almere, you live in the closest proximity to MK Centre, Sainsburys as well as several restaurants in the MK Centre area. I would highly recommend especially for new entrants to the area who may not be mobile yet and yet need close proximity to the train station, local schools as well as other facilities in the area.

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

I recently had challenges with my air-conditioning which was well addressed on time. The concierge services are reliable, timely and efficient.

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

The Almere offers periodic services to residents on a First Come, First Served basis. Be on the lookout for these.

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

Great central location near The Hub, Sainsburys and Centre MK. Offer underground parking. Short walk to train station.

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

Haven't needed to raise any but they are always present on site if you did need anything.

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

Nothing. When I came in for my viewing Natalie showed me the building and went over any questions and explained the benefits of living at The Almere.

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

The Almere is in such a great location! As I don't drive it's really handy to be able to walk across the road to Sainsburys or Bannantynes gym just next door. They also have a discount deal with Enterprise so you can use the electric car in their car park if you ever need a car for the day. There's a beautiful park about 15 minutes away called Campbell Park which is great to take the dog for a walk.

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

I needed some help setting up my WiFi and Jasmine offered to help me set up all my devices within minutes of me sending an email so this was a great first impression. Everyone is really happy to help.

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

Nothing, Natalie answered all the questions I had and more.
