Walkable distance to anywhere, anything you might need is just a few minutes away and the bus and tram stops are 5 minutes away. The street is quiet and residential, near to a fire station and schools but that’s the most noise you’ll get.

The only thing I can think of would be about how windy it can get here- it can get pretty loud

Local area, especially The Shore is fantastic. Development could benefit from a clear drop off area (i.e for taxis).

Always prompt responses. Everyone we have spoken to has been helpful.

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

The internet has been disappointing and we continue to have issues with some devices. Would have preferred bringing our own.

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

Living in the local area is generally convenient, with a good range of shops, supermarkets, and some cafés and restaurants within easy reach. There are also a few parks and open spaces nearby which are well maintained and suitable for walking and exercise. Transport links are fairly good, with regular bus routes and access to nearby train stations, although services can sometimes be delayed during peak times. On my street, parking can be limited at busy periods, but bin collections are usually reliable. Occasionally there is some traffic noise, but overall the area feels safe and reasonably quiet, with only minor instances of anti-social behaviour.

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

The building management has generally responded well to any issues raised. Requests are acknowledged promptly, and most problems are handled in a reasonable timeframe. Communication is clear and staff are approachable, which makes it easy to follow up when needed. Overall, I am satisfied with their responsiveness and support.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how quiet and well-managed the development feels day to day. The building is very secure and the communal areas are kept clean and tidy, which isn’t always obvious from a viewing. I would also say the staff are approachable and quick to help with any issues, which makes settling in much easier. Overall, it has been a smooth and positive experience, and I would happily recommend it to new residents.
