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

The road is an excellent location for travel or transport links, Manchester victoria train station is a 1 min walk away, as is Victoria metrolink tram stop The development in the next plot of land has been very annoying, having the pavement closed for such a long time, and google maps keeps on telling the public to enter victoria station nearby the entrance to new vic. There are a lot of confused looking people trying to enter the car park

Living in my local area has been a thoroughly positive experience. The architectural design of the buildings is modern, visually appealing, and consistently well-maintained, contributing to an overall pleasant and comfortable living environment. The wider local area is equally convenient, offering a diverse selection of shops, restaurants, and bars within close walking distance.

I wish I had known how quickly certain facilities, like the gym or cinema room, can get booked during peak times. It’s not a problem, but it helps to plan ahead and make use of quieter periods. I’d recommend new neighbours explore the amenities at different times to find what works best for them.

Being in the centre you would think there might be a problem with noise pollution and anti social behaviour yet I've not come across any. It's quiet and people look out for eachother. The transport links are great. I'm in a triangle consisting of the bus station, tram and train station so easy access to major cities for work. As the Development is in the regeneration area it's great to have M&S, Next, Nandos literally on your door step and not to forget the entertainment side with the cinema and mini golf. This development will continue to do wonders to help Rochdale grow.

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

They've been efficient and it's easy enough to put service requests through the portal and thr Front of House team can escalate where necessary or generally help with any minor issues. Kristina is amazing; her patience and ability to put me at ease with processes or queries are top tier and I've seen first hand how she interacts with everyone who passes by her desk. No ask or task is small and her hosting skills for activities for the residents are great.

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

Go with an open mind and plenty of questions because the apartments have various layout styles - give yourself time and not book multiple viewings. It's easy to get wrapped up and eager to view. Do your own due diligence and if you're doing the majority of the move yourself give Front of House a heads up so they can help with the move if they have the availability.
