We have lived here for 2.5 years now and absolutely love living at Coopermaker Square. The buildings are luxury and there is no other development in the area that competes on the quality and being dog friendly. We have a lab who is loved by the entire management team (especially Joanna who is amazing) and he loves the garden space which most developments do not have. Only improvement would be access to parking downstairs for non-disabled badge owners! The location is excellent, close to Westfield, east village, Olympic park, a huge amount of green walks and restaurants to choose from. We wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Maintenance team are excellent whenever you have a problem and Joanna in the management team is always so helpful.

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

Yes, they are brilliant and always sort out problems within a few days. Very friendly!

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

We wish the parking was available for residents - we would happily pay a few hundred extra for this!

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

Living at the E3 3ZD postcode (Riverstone Heights in Bromley-by-Bow) offers an incredibly convenient slice of East London life, anchored by the Bromley-by-Bow Underground station and a massive Tesco superstore right on your doorstep. Transport links are exceptional for quick commutes to Stratford, Canary Wharf, or Central London via the District and Hammersmith & City lines, and you have surprisingly scenic escapes nearby like the historic Three Mills Island and the River Lea. However, typical inner-city realities still apply; while the immediate modern development provides a secure bubble, the wider Tower Hamlets borough experiences higher urban crime rates, and proximity to major arteries like the A12 means traffic noise and occasional litter are standard fixtures. Ultimately, it’s a highly practical, well-connected spot where the sheer convenience generally outweighs the standard metropolitan grit.

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

The building management team has been absolutely fantastic in responding to any issues I have raised. They are consistently prompt, highly professional, and ensure that any maintenance problems or general inquiries are resolved quickly and efficiently. It is incredibly reassuring to have such a proactive, reliable, and communicative management team taking care of the building and its residents.

I wish I knew how bad the property was! I wish I knew that the 24/7 security was only a way of trapping people to sign in.
