Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good aspects: It’s a very nice location. Literally two minutes away there are all the shopping spots. For grocery and stuff there are M&S and Aldi that meet different needs. And it’s 4 minutes away from the tram stop. Bad aspect: the parking isn’t a good value of money. Its environment and its facilities are not worthy for the price we need to pay per month.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They respond to these things in a timely manner and they always do their best to get your issues resolved quickly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
So far everything is quite good and I don’t think there’s anything worth to be concerned.

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 there was ongoing construction nearby, which caused some daytime noise and minor disruptions.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We live next to the new shopping area with a good range of shops, independent bars, and cafes nearby. Tram, bus, and rail links to Manchester are on the doorstep, making travel very easy. There are open spaces nearby for walking. Parking on our street is usually fine, and bin collections are reliable. Occasionally, traffic noise can be heard during peak times, but it is generally a quiet street with no major anti-social behaviour issues.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Most issues have been resolved quickly by helpful staff, but one staff member often forgets to respond to our queries.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We wish we had known that visitor parking is quite limited if the shops are busy, so it’s worth planning in advance if you have family or friends visiting. Also, while most staff are helpful, there can be delays in replies from some, so it’s good to follow up on any queries. A tip: join the resident events early as they’re a great way to meet neighbours and feel settled quickly.

The waiting on parking space could be very long if you move in during the peak season.
