A guide to living in East of England

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

Local facilities are excellent. There’s a Budgens conveniently located on the ground floor and a Nisa just across the street, both open late, which makes picking up essentials incredibly easy. The high street is also easily accessible, about a 10min walk. The building is also only a short walk from the Elizabeth Line station, which is ideal for commuters. I can’t comment on parking as I don’t drive, but in terms of safety and the local environment, I’ve experienced no issues with antisocial behaviour either within the building or in the surrounding area

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

I haven't had many maintenance issues, however the few that I have raised have been promptly attended to.

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

The 10% rent increase every year. The issues raised above i.e. having a mini fridge-freezer and not being able to open the windows any wider.

I love the fac that the Central Park and the train station are literally around the corner. It comes with a price of the noise sometimes, but overall is a very positive experience.
