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

Very convenient- many shops around even a corner shop that shuts at 3am. I live at the back so dont hear much from the street apart from builders and pigeons

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

Yes but they give false information and arent really fast at all! They dont update you either.

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

I just wouldn't move in here again. The rooms are shaped weird and the kicthen area is veey small

A Beautiful Place Made Truly Special by Its Team and People

Dr. Igor B (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Maple, NW2

Jun 2026

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

Brent Cross Town looks like a promising and ambitious project with excellent infrastructure. It offers a level of comfort close to a good hotel: everything is clean, the lobby smells nice, pleasant music is playing, and the building has a 24/7 gym, an air-conditioned co-working spaces, a sauna and a swimming pool. At weekends, Claremont Park is full of children and visitors. If quiet is important to you, I would recommend choosing a flat facing inward, as it can sometimes be noisy. Our windows face the park, and we like hearing children laughing, enjoying the swings, and the Thameslink trains passing quietly in the distance. There are usually two security guards walking around the park and the area day and night, so if visitors cause any disturbance, it does not last long.

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

Polite, respectful, friendly, and very fast. I have checked the response times to my WhatsApp requests, and they have never taken more than 10 minutes — sometimes less than 2 minutes. Usually, they solve the problem immediately if it is possible.

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

Fawaz explained everything clearly from the beginning before our decision. There was nothing significant that would have made us change our decision. I would say that talking with the team — Cosmin, Gabriel, Ophelia, Vasilea, Fawaz and Richard — is very helpful for settling in and discovering many hidden advantages of living here, which often bring small but pleasant surprises.

Manager response

Great place to live

dvadr (Tenant)

The Robinson, Wembley Park, HA9

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

I really like this area overall. The local shops are fantastic, a great mix of independent boutiques and handy everyday stores that give the neighbourhood real character. There's no shortage of supermarkets either, with several options covering all budgets. Restaurants and cafes add to the lively atmosphere, making it easy to eat well without travelling far. Open green spaces are a welcome bonus for walks and weekends. Transport links are convenient with good connections into the centre. The street feels friendly and well-kept with reasonable parking and minimal anti-social behaviour. During summer, Wembley Stadium events can bring noise and traffic, but overall it remains a great place to live.

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

Building management has been responsive and efficient in my experience. I had one incident involving a clogged shower, which was resolved promptly and without any unnecessary back and forth. The team handled it professionally and I was kept informed throughout. Overall I have been pleased with how issues are dealt with here.

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

Wembley events are far more frequent than I expected. Especially during summers.

Manager response

Dear Dvadr, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying your experience at our development and that our attention to detail has not gone unnoticed. Providing convenience and value to our residents is our top priority. Thank you for recommending us to others! Kind regards, Ifty Ziyahudeen - Assistant Resident Manager
