Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very convenient location near Stevenage station with excellent transport links and easy access to shops, cafés and the town centre. The Old Town nearby offers better pubs and restaurants, and there are good green spaces within walking distance. Bin collections are reliable. Overall, practical and well suited for commuters and those who want the good life 😊
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, they have. They are prompt in responding to issues or concerns raised.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Train noise are noticeable especially on lower floors and when your apartment is facing the train line. But overall, it is a great place to live in.

Modern, Well-Maintained Living Spaces Excellent Location for Commuters
B Osborn (Tenant)
Verified Resident
The Lytton, SG1
Jan 2026
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It is conveniently located close to local amenities and is only a 5–10 minute walk from the train station, making it ideal for those who commute out of Stevenage. The location offers both convenience and easy access to transport, while still being close to shops and everyday essentials.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any issues that have arisen have been dealt with promptly and efficiently once raised. The management team are responsive and proactive, keeping residents informed and making sure problems are resolved as quickly as possible, which provides real peace of mind.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything was clearly explained prior to moving into the building, which made the process smooth and stress-free. All information was communicated in a clear and transparent way, so there were no surprises and it was easy to feel settled from the very beginning.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is very convenient and pleasant to live in. There are good local shops, cafés and restaurants within walking distance, and larger supermarkets are easy to access. Transport links are reliable, with the train station and bus routes nearby, making commuting straightforward. The area feels safe and well maintained, with regular bin collections and minimal noise or disruption. Overall, it’s a calm and comfortable neighbourhood that’s well connected and practical for everyday living.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been very responsive and professional whenever I have raised an issue. Communication is clear, and problems are acknowledged and resolved promptly. In particular, Laureta has been extremely supportive and understanding, making sure issues are handled efficiently and with care, which gives real peace of mind as a resident.
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 how well managed and supportive the development actually is. From the quality of the apartments to the responsiveness of the management team, the overall experience has been much better than expected. My advice to new residents would be to take full advantage of the support offered by the management team, as they are genuinely helpful and approachable.
Manager response

The size of the rooms are quite confining for long stays during the winter months.
