Modern living in a vibrant but busy Wembley location

Corum C (Tenant)

ARK Wembley, HA9

Apr 2026

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

Wembley is a well-connected and convenient area with a good range of shops, restaurants, and supermarkets nearby, including the London Designer Outlet and Wembley Park. There are plenty of food options and green spaces within walking distance. Transport links are excellent, with Wembley Park station providing quick access into central London via the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines. On the downside, the area can get very busy, especially during events at Wembley Stadium, which can lead to crowds, traffic, and occasional noise. Parking can also be limited at peak times. Overall, the area feels safe and lively, but it’s definitely not the quietest location.

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

Issues are usually resolved within around 3–4 days after raising a ticket, which is reasonable. The management team is generally responsive and helpful. However, the app/system could be improved, as it’s not always the most user-friendly. Digital access (such as permanent digital key/cards) would also be a useful upgrade for residents.

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

The area can get very busy during events at Wembley Stadium, which brings large crowds, noise, and occasional disruption. It’s manageable, but something to be aware of if you prefer a quieter environment. Also, parking can be limited at peak times, so planning ahead is helpful.

My experience at Ark!

Lara Chu (Tenant)

Verified Resident

ARK Wembley, HA9

Apr 2026

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

The good is that lots of new restaurants and shops are opening up, especially around the designer outlet. For example, Amorino just opened up and a new Tesco express right next to the stadium! The less good is parking I’d say. When I have guests over, it’s hard to find cheap car parking for them for a few hrs etc - it’d be nice if there was something like this for residents who don’t own cars but would like to use car parking for their guests.

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

Typically pretty fast via the app. Sometimes I raise questions and concerns on this and they get back to me promptly.

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

That the TVs in the rooms are not smart TVs!! I was shocked by this for such a new building

Good thing is the design Bad thing: Last Sunday, when I tried to use the dryer, I noticed two unpleasant odors, and it was unusable. I hope it can be inspected and dealt with as soon as possible.

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

Most of the issues be solved within 24hs, but maybe can email us before coming?

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

Where you will post the events held in Wembley Stadium… quite annoued in event days.

Good Place to Live

ARK Wembley, HA9

Apr 2026

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

It’s a good place to stay as the convenience to go shop at stores like Lidl, Tesco and Sainsbury is really great. Also Greggs, Costa coffee are all within the radius of 1 km. Wembley park station is literally a 10 mins walk, that too through a beautiful park. I haven’t come across any behaviour or traffic noise so far. Parking can be tricky when there are matches in the stadium.

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

This can take some time….but eventually it is done

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

The property managers actually told us all that we needed to know beforehand.
