Liverpool Neighbourhoods

The Georgian Quarter is seen as a cultural have. It has two cathedrals and many hidden gems, including the Everyman Theatre, The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and countless bars and bistros. Residents can enjoy living in Georgian architecture. Similarly, or in a new development in one of Liverpool’s most stylish neighbourhoods. One residential development to rent in Liverpool is The Cargo Building. 

“City centre location is pretty nice. Its super safe as its right in the middle of town. Tescos is onsite which is great. There is nothing that I dislike about the area.” – Luke, Verified Resident of The Cargo Building

The Baltic Triangle has been named as one of the hippest places in the UK and The Cargo Building has received some of the highest ratings for a development on HomeViews. With independent bars, exhibition spaces and music venues it is not your average city centre. Another one of the best developments to live in Liverpool is Brunswick Park. The development is next to the station with direct links into central Liverpool.

“Good location, spacious, well kept” – Katie, Verified Resident of Brunswick Park.

Near to Woolton is Aigburth, an affordable, yet upmarket area. Located on the river Mersey are a number of large Victorian town houses as well as new developments to buy or rent in Liverpool with views of Sefton Park.

Excellent immediate facilities for schools, GP, supermarkets, good road links and bus routes, lacking a local train station. The area is predominantly clean and sociable, nice and quiet and good for families and pets with convenient and well maintained parks nearby. There is a shortage of nearby bars and restaurants which is a mixed blessing.

Please review your development:

The area is pleasant to look at and live in, some of the roads are very narrow though and a lot of the newest properties have almost unusably narrow driveways. It’s generally kept well maintained though sometimes with large gaps in service. There is a mix of cultures and rented and owned properties.

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

Lack of pubs from when we first moved in, however this turned out not to be a problem.

What is the best feature of your home:

The quietness and convenience of the location making it family friendly.

There is a rather limited selection of local shops and restaurants available in the area however there is enough to get you by if you need to pop out for some milk.
Most properties do have driveways available however street parking tends to be most peoples preference, often clogging up walkways but your never short of a parking space.
While being a mostly quiet area as with most places there is the occasional anti-social event, usually local kids being kids. Dog mess is also a common issue across the area

Please review your development:

Houses are built to a high standard and provide pretty much everything you need in terms of built in white goods. The reset completed between private tenants is to a high standard (depending on the owners of course).
The houses are well suited for families of all ages and have decent sized gardens are well as extra communal green space.
While each house is on a decent sized plot, the roads do have a bit of a maze like feel.

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

The walls between rooms and houses are very thin and don’t provide a great deal of sound proofing, so I would suggest scoping out your neighbours first.

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen is very well fitted and great for those moving with little to no white goods.

Close to great bars and shops. Train station and bus station are also very close. Plenty of parking.

Design of the buildings is very good. Everything is always clean. Bin storage is sometimes untidy but that is other tenants fault. Building management are great. Concierge service is always friendly and helpful. The main reception is a great place to hang out and get a coffee and the gym is good as well.

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

There are a lot of great pubs around that are handy to know.

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

Responded quickly and sorted the problem without fuss.
