Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is losing is vibrancy with a lot of great cafes and bars shut down over the last years. There is a general lack of amenities such as gyms and pools in the area. Supermarkets and parking can’t cope with residential demand.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they are quite responsive though used to be better
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Heating and hot water provider is a joke and overpriced

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is amazing. With just a stone’s throw away from aldgate east station. There are 2 good grocery stores nearby giving you easy access to food at all times. The best thing is the proximity to spitalfields market. You can easily go and grab a nice lunch in the area or a nice browse their trader’s market. The area is vibrant and full of life.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very quick and understanding. They will aim to resolve the issue ASAP.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything was explained well before move-in. Things are working as expected!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There’s a large Tesco just a three-minute walk away, which makes shopping for daily essentials super easy. We also have a well-equipped gym nearby. Transportation is excellent—there are multiple travel options including buses and the underground, and all stations are within walking distance. The apartment building is very secure, with a proper entry system for safety. The only downside is that the metro line is quite close, so there’s some noise from passing trains, but it’s generally manageable and doesn’t affect everyday life too much.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has responded promptly to any repair requests I’ve raised. They follow up in a timely manner, arrange for maintenance personnel, and schedule appointments efficiently. Their responsiveness has been reassuring and much appreciated.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It would be better to give a reminder about the potential noise of the train.

Location is really great for commuting with lots of transport links close by, they also have lots of shops locally including a Tesco opposite the building which is convenient. On the negative side there seems to be lots of homeless people around the area
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they always get back to you normally they are good but struggle to communicate their efforts

Nothing really I think I had a good understanding of the area always
