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

The area is much different to where I have moved from and is so close to the centre where everything you would need is available at such a short distance. The area around the apartment is lovely with supermarkets, restaurants, cafe's all close by. You really don't need a car when living here as you can get to where you need in a short distance. The canal is so lovely to walk along as well as live by.

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

Yes - I have not yet had any problems but they have been very responsive to all my enquiries so far.

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

Not necessarily anything I didn't know but it's so much better than what I expected.

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

Leith is a great location to live and since moving away three years ago I’ve been working out ways to come back, and I’m very grateful about moving to Dockside as it’s still quiet, yet very close to public transport, buses and city centre availability for taxis and driving. There’s a host of hidden gems nearby and can only recommend the location!

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

Fixed a small issue we had very quickly, plus easy to report issues with the app

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

I didn’t think I’d be that interested in the boats out the back as much as I thought I would be

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

Living in the local area has many positive aspects. There is a good range of local shops, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants within walking distance, offering decent quality and variety. There are also several green spaces nearby, which are well maintained and suitable for walking or relaxing. Transport links are generally convenient, with regular bus services and easy access to main roads, although services can be busy during peak hours. The street itself is usually quiet, with manageable traffic noise. Parking can be limited at busy times, but bin collections are reliable and there are no major issues with anti-social behaviour.

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

Moamen and the other front desk reception staff have all been very helpful and welcoming.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that parking can be quite limited during busy periods, so planning ahead is helpful. It’s also useful to know that the building is generally very quiet and well managed, which isn’t always obvious from a short viewing. Getting to know the front desk and management team early on makes settling in much easier, as they are very supportive and responsive.
