A guide to living in City of Glasgow

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

Overall, the apartment offers very good facilities and is well maintained, providing a comfortable living environment. The surrounding area is convenient, with a good range of local shops and supermarkets within walking distance, making daily shopping easy. Transport links are generally reliable, although the location is slightly far from my place of study; however, this has not caused any major inconvenience in daily life. The street is generally quiet, with limited traffic noise and no significant anti-social behaviour. One minor drawback is that rubbish disposal is slightly inconvenient compared to other places I have lived, but this does not significantly affect the overall living experience.

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

When I first moved in, there was an issue with the hob in my apartment. I reported the problem to building management, and the maintenance team responded very efficiently. Josh and Andrew from the maintenance department handled the issue and resolved it quickly. Their response was prompt and professional, and the problem was fixed without any delay. I really appreciate their help and the excellent level of support provided.

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 the exact orientation of each apartment within the development. It would be very helpful if the website clearly indicated which block an apartment is located in, as well as whether it faces the garden or the street. This information is not always obvious during a standard viewing, but it can make a noticeable difference to natural light, noise levels, and overall living experience. Having this detail available online would be a useful improvement and a helpful reference for future residents.

Local area is fine, particularly like the dukes umbrella. Good luck for the hydro and the motorway. Close to central station which is handy

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

Like they don’t care to be perfectly honest . As highlighted above lost parcels and noise issues were not taken seriously.

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

Would not have moved in had I known about all the things highlighted above, but I think most of all the security of the building (broken gates and doors) and the fact the building cannot stand up to Scottish weather

This is a great area to live in. The city centre shops are just steps away, but the apartments are quiet with little to no noise from outside. The subway is about 5 mins away which is great for commuting.

Quick responses to maintenance request and the team also follow up on actions that have been taken which is great.

Lots of places nearby offer a discount for residents living here. I was really pleased to discover that there is someone on front-desk at all times as this makes the building feel very secure.
