A guide to living in Croydon

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

The blossoms is in a brilliant location. I am right beside east croydon station. Despite being beside the passing trains, the integrated feature of being a soundproofed flat makes you forget that you are even beside the station! It is incredibly quiet! Central croydon is less than a 10 minutes walk so shopping, restaurants etc are just on your doorstep.

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

I had an issue within the communal area. I raised the issue with Daniel who was swift with a response in resolving the matter. I was incredibly appreciative as previous landlords have not been as responsive.

I wish that there were more of a community presence within The Blossoms.

I’ve had a really positive experience living at The Quarters. The location is very convenient, and the studio is extremely well designed. My room is only around 22 square metres, but the layout makes very good use of the space and it feels comfortable rather than cramped. I particularly like the large study table, which is great for working from home, and the fact that the apartment comes fully furnished. The furniture, kitchen and bathroom all feel thoughtfully designed and practical. Overall, I’d give the design and facilities 5 out of 5. The only downside for me is that the building is quite close to the road, so there can be some traffic noise at times. Apart from that, I’m very happy with the apartment and think the space has been designed exceptionally well.

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

The building management has been very responsive and friendly. I haven’t had any major issues so far, but whenever I’ve had a question or needed help, they have responded quickly and been helpful.

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

I wish I had known a little more about the room size before moving in. The studio is very well designed and makes good use of the space, but I would have preferred it to be slightly larger. That said, for a studio, it works very well.

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

Very close to transport links and town centre. Close to shops and restaurants. Plenty to do when going out.

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

Very quick reply and prompt fixing of the issues the very next day. Excellent service.

Not to be biased by other people's opinions of the area. People tend to have a somewhat negative perception of Croydon but it looks very nice so far!
