Modern, Well-Maintained and Convenient Living

Mercer West & Madison East, LS2

Nov 2025

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

Living in Mercer West has been generally positive. The area has a good range of local shops and supermarkets, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés within a short walk. Open spaces are well-kept and nice for walks. Transport links are convenient with frequent buses into the city, although they can get crowded at peak times. The street itself is usually quiet with decent parking availability, and bin collections are regular. There’s minimal anti-social behaviour, though occasional traffic noise can be heard during busy hours.

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

The building management has generally been responsive and helpful, resolving issues efficiently and addressing concerns in a timely manner.

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

I wish I had known that a new building is being constructed nearby, which can sometimes cause noise and limited views.
