A guide to living in Merseyside

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

The Lexington is in a fantastic location — just a 10-minute walk to Liverpool ONE with all its shops, and around 15 minutes to the Albert Dock.

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

The building management team are fantastic. Kyran (who seems to handle everything!) is always helpful, and Callum is great at responding promptly to any maintenance tickets. Auland from the maintenance team is also excellent — quick to resolve any issues in the apartment and always polite and professional when doing so.

That said, it would be great if the windows could be cleaned more than once a year, as living by the docks means they get dirty quickly. The bin chute can also be problematic from time to time, though this usually comes down to how some residents use it rather than the building itself.

Really enjoying my time here — the building itself is modern, well-maintained, and has a great feel to it. The shared spaces are always clean, the amenities are solid, and everything just feels thoughtfully designed. What really stands out, though, is the team. Callum is always helpful and calm under pressure, Caitlin is incredibly welcoming and on top of things, and Kyran brings a relaxed, friendly energy that makes day-to-day stuff so much easier. It’s clear they all care about creating a great living experience. Couldn’t ask for a better combo of a great building and a genuinely supportive team!

Living by the waterfront has been a mostly amazing experience. The views alone are worth it — waking up to the sunrise over the water or watching the colors shift during sunset feels like something out of a painting. There’s a peaceful vibe here that’s hard to find anywhere else. Whether it’s going for morning walks, kayaking, or just sitting on a bench with a coffee, it’s easy to feel connected to nature. The area is well-kept, with clean paths, green spaces, and regular community events that bring neighbors together. It’s also a great spot for local restaurants and cafes — many of which take full advantage of the views with outdoor seating. On weekends, there’s usually a gentle buzz, but it never feels overly crowded. That said, there are a few downsides. Parking can be tricky, especially during holidays or peak seasons when visitors flock to the area. And while the breeze off the water is usually refreshing, it can get pretty intense in the colder months. Flooding and dampness can also be concerns during stormy weather, depending on the exact location. Still, the good far outweighs the bad. There’s something really special about living near the water — it brings a calm, slower rhythm to life that’s hard to replicate. If you’re someone who loves the outdoors, values peace, and doesn’t mind the occasional gust of wind, waterfront living is a dream.

I wish I knew about resident events sooner! They're the best way to get to know everyone.

I've just completed a year in this fantastic new facility and loved every moment. The location offers the best of city life with stunning views of Liverpool and the iconic Liver Birds especially beautiful at night. I've added 2 (unfiltered) pics! Local shops, bars and restaurants are nearby. Transport links are reliable and convenient. Despite being city-centre, it's peaceful; the soundproofing is excellent.

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

Any time I’ve had a question or minor issue, the building management and concierge team have been quick to respond and genuinely helpful. They’re approachable, professional and take concerns seriously. It’s reassuring to know there’s always someone available 24/7 and that support has made living here feel easy and stress-free.

My top tip for a new neighbour: make the most of the location. The waterfront is perfect for a walk or run, and there are plenty of great local cafes and restaurants nearby.
