Living in this development has been a genuinely positive experience. The building is modern, well‑maintained, and managed by a team who are consistently helpful and responsive. Communal areas are kept clean, the facilities are reliable, and any queries or requests are dealt with quickly and professionally. There’s a real sense of organisation and care behind the scenes, which makes day‑to‑day living feel smooth and stress‑free. The location is another strong point — it’s well‑connected, with easy access to transport, shops, and local amenities. The area feels safe, and the community within the building is friendly and respectful. There are a few areas that could be improved, such as occasional noise from nearby developments and limited parking at peak times, but these are relatively minor compared to the overall quality of the building and management. Overall, it’s a comfortable, well‑run place to live, with a team who clearly take pride in the standard of service they provide.

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

Living in this area has been a really positive experience overall. The neighbourhood feels safe, the streets are well‑kept, and there’s a strong sense of community. Day‑to‑day conveniences are close by — shops, cafés, and transport links are all within easy reach, which makes getting around simple. It’s also generally quiet, especially in the evenings, which is great for anyone who values a calm environment. There are a few downsides worth mentioning. Parking can be limited at busy times, and some of the surrounding roads get congested during rush hour. While most amenities are nearby, certain services — like larger supermarkets or gyms — require a slightly longer trip. Occasionally, there can be noise from ongoing development in the wider area, though this tends to be temporary. Overall, it’s a comfortable and well‑connected place to live, with a good balance of convenience and community, and only a few minor drawbacks.

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

Yes. Mostly fine although on one occasion I was told issue was fixed but return home to find it hadn’t be.

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

How close Newham way was to the development but noise is fine with windows shut

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

We were new to London and struggled to find suitable accommodation. The transport links are exceptional, a few steps away from the station and only 3 stops to London City airport making it very convenient to travel. The grocery stores are plentiful and well stocked to suit our needs.

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

I had a blocked sink and the matter was attended to efficiently and swiftly

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

I wish I had met Mariya sooner, it would have saved me alot of stress

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

The local amenities are very good with multiple supermarkets and cafes, as well as a gym. Being so close to a well connected station is also amazing.

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

We’ve been informed of any planned checks or work going on well in advance, making it easy to plan around. Whenever an issue is raised to staff it gets broadcast to everyone so we know that’s it being worked on.

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

Initially we were told the carpet in the bedroom was going to be replaced, it seems that isn’t the case anymore.

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

Good aspect is upon first gland the space is beautiful . Bad aspects are hidden fees they do not tell you about until AFTWR you’ve moved in

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

Building management was nice until you had a complaint and then they were unhelpful. Some of the building managers would flirt also and make it uncomfortable to walk past the front desk

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

Hidden cost they do not mention before you move in . Also the flat is terribly insulated and the underfoot heating which sounds nice doesn’t work and charges even when turned off
