New apartment in Rondo Development

Karolina (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Rondo, E20

Jul 2026

Rondo is a brand-new development in Stratford. The amenities and overall design have clearly been well thought out. There is a well-equipped gym, a bookable cinema, and various spaces dedicated to working or hosting parties. There are also multiple terraces for residents to enjoy. The apartments themselves are spacious, although there is very little storage space compared with several other new developments in the area. Most of the flats come fully furnished, but I wouldn’t really describe them as such because only the essentials are provided. For example, there was no desk or chest of drawers, and the built-in wardrobes have no shelves, so you can only hang your clothes. The blinds also don’t seem particularly practical—it would have made much more sense to have curtains, especially in the bedrooms. The kitchen cupboards and bathroom flooring have a very delicate finish that shows every speck of dirt, even the smallest marks. It feels like aesthetics were prioritised over practicality. That said, the rent is competitively priced, and with a few additional pieces of furniture, you can easily make the apartment feel complete. The open-plan living room and kitchen are very spacious, and the large windows make the apartments feel bright and airy. As this is a brand-new development, there were a few initial issues with the apartment. However, once we reported them, the responses were quick, professional, and helpful. Finally, the reception team has been consistently friendly, welcoming, and very helpful, which has made the overall experience much more positive.

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

Stratford (specifically the East Village area), in my opinion, is an extremely attractive place to live. It has excellent transport connections to various parts of the city as well as the airports. Having Westfield on your doorstep, along with a wide range of restaurants, also makes it incredibly convenient

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

The responses were quick and they did their best to help.

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

Everything was explained during the viewing and our additional questions were answered in a follow up. There was a bit of an issue with references proces and I wish they raise it with us earlier as it was very stressful to do it last minute.

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

Great location as its near station, with good tube and bus network. Can be noisy due to level of street busyness and traffic but with windows closed it's fine. Bin collections are good.

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

As commented above building management are excellent. They are always there to support and friendly and have been accommodating to my requests.

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

I think the standing rate charge for the utilities are expensive, and there doesn't seem to be any flexibility in supplier. I would have thought a building like this a more favourable rate would be negotiated.
