It’s an amazing thing having Morrisons just crossing the street. It’s poor service of buses, but if you have a car, it’s perfect cause we have a car park inside the complex. It’s a quite street in general, no noisy

Just be aware of bills so you don’t have any surprises with water , energy etc. the windows don’t fully open, so if you have portable air con, will be hard to attach.

Regarding the schools quality, we have grammar a 10’ walk distance and a good catholic primary just 8’ walk too.

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

The facilities in my residential area are generally impressive. The gym is well-equipped and the club room is a great space for social gatherings. The barbecue area is nice for outdoor events, though the grill itself doesn’t work very well. The media room is a mixed experience — while it’s a nice space, the inability to turn off the lights or lower them really affects the viewing experience. Additionally, we’re not allowed to adjust the speaker volume, so if it's too loud or too soft, there's little flexibility, which defeats the purpose of a proper media room. Overall, it’s decent.

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

The service here has been excellent — whenever I raise an issue, it’s resolved promptly and professionally. The staff are friendly, approachable, and always willing to help, which makes a big difference in daily living. Their responsiveness and positive attitude truly enhance the overall experience in the community.

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

One thing that could definitely be better is the inconsistency in rules — many were changed after I moved in, which was frustrating. There were also some promises made by the agents that weren’t followed through. The coffee machine, while a big plus and one of the reasons I chose this place, unfortunately keeps breaking. I do appreciate having it, but better maintenance and honesty upfront would really help.
