A guide to living in City of Edinburgh

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

Lots of choices of bars, cafes and restaurants (though could be more), and can be a bit pricey. Although Ocean Terminal could be better shop-wise the benefit of having the Vue 2 minutes from home is a great plus for location. We've recently had family visiting and taken them on the boat at the shore for drinks and up to the bar/restaurant Port of Leith Distillery. The novelty of these type of places are a plus. A short 15 min walk to Newhaven has a few restaurants with great views and great value for food. The tram is another real bonus and you cant hear it from inside your apartment which is great. Overall one of the better locations I've stayed.

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

See above. As I mentioned speedy and appropriate response.

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

I think I would emphasise the safety and security more. As I said living in a similar development in London security and safety was terrible. We had doors that weren't fixed for months so anyone could enter and packages went missing. At Dockside it feels so safe and secure. I understand the security guard is onsite but no longer visible. I was disappointed this had changed as to have someone visible is a deterrent for any potential anti social behaviour.

Dockside is in the centre of Leith and has great access to local bars, restaurants, public transport and other local amenities. Its perfectly situated for busy professional people and those wanting a slower pace.

Only ever had small maintenance issues that occur in any building at any time. Those are reported on the App and are fixed without any issue quickly and without any fuss.

Euan Rodgers made the moving in experience amazing. Smooth and fast with no issues whatsoever so ever. The stair is extremely clean and everything in working order. The little amenities when moving in was such a special touch. We couldn’t be happier.
