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

We spent a good few weeks looking around several local areas before choosing to live in Costhorpe, it has a great route for our work place, our son's school is still close enough to commute to but the local parks and facilities are brilliant, our son's particularly love the local football pitches. We have a lovely quiet street to live on, we met our neighbours whilst moving in and everyone seemed friendly, the parking is really good for 2 cars, we're still getting used to a change in what goes in which bin as we've changed local council but we're getting there. When we first moved in the main road A60 was being resurfaced so the roads were closed in the evening until early morning and whilst this caused a slight inconvenience for my early commute to work we now have super smooth roads with zero potholes in.

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

We've not really had many issues but when we have contacted them everything has been dealt with efficiently.

Quiet complex separate from hustle and bustle. Very near to greenery for outdoor activities at Langold Lake. Bit distant for big supermarkets and other facilities like gyms.

Nightmare for email responses/phone calls but Adam was amazing.

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