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

The location of this apartment is excellent. Within 3–5 minutes’ walk can find Tesco and Chinese supermarkets, and the DLR station is also very close which making transport very convenient. The sound insulation is much better compared to nearby apartments.

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

The building management has always been very responsive.

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

I wasn’t aware that the rubbish needs to be taken down to the basement level, but it’s not really a big issue.

Manager response

Thank you for your glowing review! We pride ourselves on our friendly and supportive staff, and we're thrilled to hear they made your move-in experience smooth and reassuring. We appreciate your kind words and hope you continue to enjoy your living experience with us.

Modern apartments with great facilities and responsive management

Sept 2025

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

The local area is very convenient with plenty of supermarkets, shops, cafés, and restaurants within walking distance. Public transport links are strong, making commuting easy, and the area feels generally safe. There are also some nice open spaces nearby for walking or relaxing. The only downsides are that parking can be a little limited and, like most busy areas, there can be occasional traffic noise.

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

The building management has generally been responsive and helpful. When I reported maintenance issues, they were addressed within a reasonable period, and the team communicates updates clearly. The communal areas are kept tidy, and security is taken seriously, which adds to the overall sense of comfort and safety.

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

After living here for four years, I don’t feel there was anything major I wish I had known beforehand — the apartment and facilities have met my expectations. Every thing has been great!

Manager response

Our top priority is to provide modern, comfortable living for our residents and we are glad to hear that you are enjoying the on-site facilities. We truly value your feedback and hope to continue providing an exceptional living experience for you.

We are glad to hear that you have enjoyed your time here and that you feel the price and facilities represent fair value for the area.
