A guide to living in North East London

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

The good aspects of living in my local area is the fact that we are surrounded with shops, supermarkets, restaurants, markets and a great transport links to the rest of London city. I have not seen a school near by so far .

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

They respond to the queries by email most of the time.

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

I wish I had known that I would find the apartment partially furnished and wardrobe quite standard before I moved in.

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

The tenement is in a fantastic location — just a short walk from the main Elizabeth Line station and several bus routes, making it easy to get around. It’s also conveniently close to a supermarket and the Exchange Gallery, which adds a nice cultural touch to the area. Overall, a great place to stay with everything you need nearby.

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

The building management has been very responsive and helpful, addressing any issues quickly and efficiently with clear communication and a professional attitude.

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

I wish I had known how popular the area can get during peak hours, especially around the nearby station. It’s a lively neighbourhood, which is great, but can be busy at times. I’d also recommend getting to know the building management early—they’re very helpful and make settling in much easier.

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

You can find transportation within a few feet from the apartment, with a train station and bus station just opposite eachother it’s very handy to get from place to place. Loads of shops within walking distance for groceries or housewarming amenities. There is also a great market with amazing finds!

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

We have had a few issues with our hot water and pressure, even though it was a few times the management team noted it and sorted it straight away, they even went a step further to provide us keys to another room with a working shower for the meantime.

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

I wish I had known the trains next to us would be a little bit noisy (doesn’t bother me but I heard some mixed reviews from other residents)

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

The location is perfect and close to lots of shops and public transport but the noise from the train is the downside and no allocated parking for residents and visitors.

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

Yes. They make sure to get it resolved right away.

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

Nothing. The agent has kept us well-informed with all the things that we have to know prior moving in. Great team!

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

I can only write good things about the area, it is very close to Sainsbury's Supermarket, Iceland, Exchange Shopping Centre, Nurseryk, GP Practice etc...

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

Problems in the apartment are handled within a reasonable time (not always professionally, but only casually), but they do not respond to common areas, cleanliness, and security issues.

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

There were no problems when moving in, the problems arose after the change of management. If you want quick and professional solutions to your problems, if you want clean and usable common areas, don't move here. But the apartments are great and the neighborhood is very livable.
