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

A lovely community and attractive place to live.. commute to A1 couldn’t be easier! A few nice coffee shops and a lovely bar in the area with a good sized Coop on site too. Haven’t experienced any issues with any aspect of living in The Hawkings. Lynn on the property management side has been very helpful.

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

Lynn has been great.. very helpful. Resolved an initial issue very quickly for me too

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

There is digging early as it’s an active site but this didn’t really bother me!

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

The area is lovely, quiet with still a lot of development ongoing at the moment. Haddon is very much a growing area so facilities are mainly in Yaxley which is close by, but I know longer term there will be some added here which we look forward to using! Parking is great and no issues with anything down our street so far!

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

We reported a handful of issues that we discovered upon moving in, and they have been sorted by the maintenance team which was very good. Any questions we’ve had have always been answered very quickly!

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

Whilst the development is still progressing, use a postcode for deliveries and instructions rather than just a road name! The road doesn’t appear on google yet so extra instructions are highly appreciated by delivery drivers!

Just waiting for the hub to be completed and then it will be perfect as i would prefer to be able to walk to a local shop rather than drive. Everything else is perfect

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

took a couple of days to respond but then someone was around within an hour

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

nothing! everything was as expected the road isnt finished yet so there is quite a bit of dust of the moment but its only temporary

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

Really convenient being close to the local supermarket and has the option of Salento for great coffee and Italian food. Parking is plentiful and bin collections are regular. I have experienced no anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is moderate, but apartments on the front of the development seem to be fairly well insulated to noise.

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

Slightly limited public transport links to get into the centre of Cambridge

What is the best feature of your home:

Good-sized kitchen area with integrated appliances and excellent views from the balcony.
