The Apiary Ealing is very conveniently located right next to Ealing Broadway station (< 5 minute walk), making it very accessible. Being this close to the train station does however mean that the vibration and noise from the fast trains (GWR, Heathrow express) can be felt / heard from within the flats. The building itself is sleekly designed and clean and modern, however individual fittings and fixtures are of mixed quality (e.g., low quality finishings, door hinges etc.). Amenities are great, especially the rooftop terrace ( a big hit during summer!) and co-working space. The laundry room could do with more washer/dryers (i.e., more than the 3 currently in the space), in particular given the number of residents. Building management are lovely, available and always on hand to help, however similar to the above, given the number of residents, more staff on hand would be welcomed as requests are often backlogged.

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

Ealing Broadway is a vibrant hub and wonderfully connected area.Parking is generally quite limited however with the lizzy, central and district lines running into central London, it is definitely workable. There is a fantastic mixture of green spaces (lammas park, walpole park), cafes, supermarkets, and retail shops.

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

As mentioned above, building management are lovely, available and always on hand to help, but given the number of residents, more staff on hand would be welcomed as requests are often backlogged. While requests will generally always be attended to eventually, staff are also not always super responsive, and there are often delays between requests made via writing (text, email etc) and when the requests are acutally attended to or addressed.

I’ve had a positive overall impression of living at The Apiary Co-Living Apartments Ealing, particularly in terms of its modern design and lifestyle-focused approach. The building itself is very well designed, with stylish, fully furnished studio apartments that feel contemporary and thoughtfully laid out. The balance between private living space and shared communal areas works well, making it suitable for both independence and social interaction.

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

Ealing Broadway is a vibrant and well-connected area that offers a great balance between city life and a more relaxed suburban feel. The range of local shops is excellent, with the Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre providing plenty of high-street brands, supermarkets, and everyday essentials. There’s also a strong selection of independent cafés, restaurants, and pubs, catering to a variety of tastes, from casual dining to more upscale options. Walpole Park and Ealing Green are also very nice

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

Yes, I had an issue with my door and they are quick to help. Aswell as getting locked out a few times they are always here to help.

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