Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We have only recently moved to the area, but our experience so far has been very positive. It feels quiet, safe and family-friendly, with good access to local shops, schools and green spaces. The area is pleasant and well maintained, and we have not experienced any issues with noise, parking or waste collections.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Whenever we have had a question or needed help, the management team has responded promptly and professionally. They have been easy to contact and have always tried to resolve any issues or provide clear guidance.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It would have been useful to know a little more in advance about how the utility accounts and some of the move-in services are set up, as we were new to the area and still learning how everything works. However, the team has been helpful whenever we have asked for assistance, and overall the move-in experience has been very smooth.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I live Present Made in Eddington since 1.5 years and really love it. The area is clean and peaceful, my house has an allocated parking space and a lovely garden, and my neighbours are friendly. Local shops are handy, there's lots of green space, and getting into town by bus or bike is easy. Bins are collected on time, and there's no anti-social behaviour or traffic noise. It really feels like home.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team are really good. Whenever I've raised an issue, they've responded quickly and got it sorted without any hassle.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Honestly, I wish someone had told me about the extra rent discounts before I moved in! They really help, so if you're thinking of moving here, ask the team what deals are on before you sign. You might save yourself a bit of money.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s just a 5 minute walk to Sainsburys and a lovely coffee shop/bakery. There is a Reformer studio in the same location and the University Sports Centre is a 5 minute cycle ride. There city centre is 2 miles away so we’re not within a short walk but it is easy to get there on a bike or via the local park and ride.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We’ve only had a couple of minor issues but the management team have responded rapidly and resolved all queries.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I think the team have trolleys to help move bags and furniture but I was not aware of this when I arrived; should have asked!
