Nice, well connected building at decent price

Will B (Tenant)

Aug 2025

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

Local shops, grocers, and transit links make this development convenient and well connected. However, the area tends to be noisy at night between the hospital close by, busy roads, and taverns and clubs.

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

Building management always deals with issues quite promptly and is always friendly. The only recurring issue which seems to be an ongoing problem is the trash chute not working.

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

I wish I had known more about the specific area as it’s quite loud and busy more often than not & has a decent amount of homeless activity.

Spacious, new build flats with incredible amenities

Daniel (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Vantage Point, N19

Aug 2025

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

The building is built right above Archway tube station and within two minutes of four grocery stores, which is incredibly convenient. There are some decent restaurants, pubs, and bakeries around, mixed with kebab stands and some lower end shops. The area itself is quite green and while the building is directly over a very busy area, the traffic and noise feels more vibrant than tiresome.

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

Somewhat, we've had a few minor issues with the refuge shoot that have not yet been fixed and some unfixable features with the hood and bathroom exhaust systems. Otherwise it all works well.

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

Moving in with a large moving truck is painful. There is a very long corridor with two lifts and the building will not privatise them during move-in, meaning it takes an inordinately long time to move in with any furniture.

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

Lots of nice food places, supermarkets, but living above the northern line is the best. Makes getting to most parts of London reasonable.

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

Yes -they’re reponded very quickly and consistently thereafter

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

It’s very much like a town centre - it’s very busy a lot of the time.

Vantage Point offers highly convenient premium accommodation

Jonny (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Vantage Point, N19

Aug 2025

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

Convenience of a range of local shops is unparalleled. Bar and restaurant quality, range and convenience is reasonable. Proximity to open spaces is excellent, with Hampstead Heath and Finsbury Park offering tremendous potential, and Navigator Square just outside the building as a very meaningful addition to the immediate area.

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

I haven't had any issues requiring building management actions, so this is not applicable.

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

Can't think of anything that has come as a surprise.
