A guide to living in Borough of Haringey

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

I’ve really enjoyed living in the local area, more than I initially expected. I haven’t had any major issues in the past two years. The commute is great, and it’s convenient being close to the retail park for essential shops. I also really enjoy the walks and views around the Wetlands/Reservoirs, as well as having places like the Ferry Boat Inn pub nearby. The only real downside is that Tottenham Hale station can get very busy during events at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

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

Yes, building management has responded to issues I’ve raised, but the response time can vary. Sometimes things are dealt with within a couple of hours, while other times it can take a few days before anything is actioned. Overall, they do respond, but more consistent follow-up and clearer timelines would make the experience better.

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

I wish I had known that most of the communal areas close at 11pm, apart from the gym. As residents, we all have fobs, so it would be great to have access to these spaces later, especially considering the rent and the fact that they are part of what makes the development appealing. This is particularly relevant during the summer months, when it stays light until late and it would be nice to enjoy the communal areas for longer in the evenings.
