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

I'm happy with the area. If you have a car, everything you need is just a short drive away. The street is quiet and peaceful, making it a comfortable place to live. The local shops, restaurants, and transport links are easily accessible.

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

Mustafa has been really helpful in addressing any issues we've raised.

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 that the mobile signal isn't very strong in the area. I also had a lot of trouble activating my internet, so it’s something to keep in mind for anyone relying on mobile or internet connectivity.

Modern Living with Exceptional Facilities and Thoughtful Design

Jason D (Tenant)

The Almere, MK9

Jan 2025

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

The Almere, offers a good variety of local shops, restaurants, and bars, catering to most daily needs Note: there’s a huge sainsbury within 3 mins walking distance. Many nearby restaurants providing diverse dining options all within walking distance and loads of options if you have a car. Open spaces like Willen Lake and Campbell Park are nearby and excellent for outdoor activities. Transport links are convenient, with good access to buses, and Milton Keynes Central Station is a 3 min drive or a 20 min walk honestly it provides quick connections to London and Birmingham. However, some areas face limited evening bus services. There’s ample parking availability and best of all they have underground parking which I was first to opt in for and I was lucky to get a space as there’s a waiting list. There’s regular bin collections. Anti-social behavior and traffic noise are minimal, making it a very peaceful place to live.

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

Very quick to answer my queries most of the time within a few hours if not on the spot.

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

Everything was as expected since the staff were extremely transparent with us. No hidden fees nothing. I was aware of everything related with my move in and the flat and the building itself. The staff answered all my questions and even gave me more information. Very helpful.
