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

Modern apartments. Many developments offer features like concierge services, gyms, co-working spaces, secure entry, and parking. Liverpool Waters Growing neighbourhood. Liverpool Waters continues to add homes, parks, cafés, and public spaces, so the area is becoming more vibrant over time. Liverpool Waters Good transport links. It's easy to access buses, trains, ferries, and major roads while still feeling separate from the busiest parts of the city.

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

I've had one issue with with my door as it was jamming it got resolved within a day so hats off to the maintenance team.

Great Facilities and a Friendly Community

Harry H (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Milliners Yard, L3

Jul 2026

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

Milliners Yard is in a convenient location, within walking distance of Liverpool city centre, the Baltic Triangle and the waterfront. There is a good selection of supermarkets, convenience stores, cafés, restaurants and bars nearby, making day-to-day living very easy. The area has excellent public transport links, with regular bus services and Liverpool Central and Lime Street stations within walking distance. There are several green spaces and the waterfront nearby for walking and recreation. Stafford Street is generally quiet for a city-centre location, although there can be some traffic noise and activity at weekends due to the nearby nightlife. Bin collections are generally reliable, and as with many city-centre developments, parking can be limited unless you have an allocated space. Overall, the location offers a good balance of convenience, amenities and accessibility.

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

You could say: > The building management team has generally been responsive and approachable whenever I've raised any issues. Communication has been clear, and maintenance requests have been dealt with in a reasonable timeframe. The staff are friendly and proactive, and they regularly organise resident events and activities, which helps create a welcoming community and shows they genuinely care about residents' experience.

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

One thing I wish I'd known before moving in is just how much the resident amenities add to the experience of living here. The gym, roof terrace and co-working lounge quickly become part of your daily routine, and the free coffee machine and regular community events, such as yoga sessions and pizza-making evenings, make it easy to meet neighbours. I'd also recommend making the most of the resident app and keeping an eye out for events, as they're a great way to get involved. As with any city-centre development, it's worth being aware that there can be some noise at weekends and parking is limited if you don't have an allocated space, but overall the facilities and community atmosphere make it a great place to live.

The best place in Liverpool!

Lighthaus, L3

Jul 2026

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

The Lighthaus is a fantastic place to live. There is an excellent choice of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars nearby, with beautiful waterfront walks and plenty of open space. The city centre is within easy walking distance and transport links are very convenient. The street feels safe, peaceful and well maintained, with reliable bin collections, manageable traffic noise and no issues with anti-social behaviour. We absolutely love living here.

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

The building management team has always responded quickly and professionally to any questions or issues we have raised. Communication is clear, and matters are dealt with efficiently and courteously. We feel listened to and well supported, and have been very impressed with the consistently high standard of service.

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

A typical viewing does not fully show how peaceful, secure and well managed the building feels once you live here. Despite being so close to the city centre, it feels calm and residential, while the waterfront location is lovely for daily walks. Our tip would be to explore the surrounding docks and nearby independent cafés and restaurants, you quickly realize how convenient everything is. We have genuinely had a wonderful experience living here.

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

Beautiful, friendly neighborhood with a wonderful community atmosphere. The area is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to live in. I especially love the stunning waterfront views and the luxurious feel of the surroundings. The sunsets here are absolutely breathtaking and never get old.

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

The team at Lighthaus is absolutely awesome (Kendra, Andy, Tommy, Catlin, Reece, Nathen and Annie) , and goes above and beyond to make everyone feel valued. Always just a message away and ready to help, shoutout to Kendra who helped me find my Passport. It's reassuring to know there's always support when needed, and the excellent service truly enhances the overall living experience.

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

One of the things I appreciate most about living at Lighthaus is how clean and well-maintained everything is. There always seems to be someone cleaning and looking after the property, which keeps the communal areas spotless and welcoming. The attention to detail really stands out and shows how much care goes into maintaining a high standard. Combined with the friendly team and beautiful surroundings, it makes Lighthaus a fantastic place to call home.
