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

Still in development and there could be more grocery stores and restaurants. There's still a lot of construction going on in the area.

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

Sometimes it seems like they aren't concerned about a small issue we might have and give a very unhelpful generic response.

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

I had thought there would have been more restaurants and stores in the area but it's remained quite bare.

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

Living here offers a wonderful balance of convenience and community spirit. We’re fortunate to have diverse local shops and eateries that add real character, alongside lovely green spaces perfect for unwinding. Transport links are generally reliable, making commuting straightforward, though peak times can get busy. Our street feels safe and friendly, with efficient bin collections and considerate neighbours. While parking can occasionally be tight and traffic noise a minor factor during rush hour, these are small trade-offs for the area’s many benefits. Overall, it’s a vibrant, welcoming place to call home.

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

Very quick and very helpful. It has been a pleasure to talk to them.

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

The apartment is really hot in the pm in summer because it is facing west.
