Reading is a large market town and borough in the county of Berkshire. Located on the M4 motorway 40 miles west of London and within easy reach of both Oxford and Bristol, it has been described as having some of the best transport connections in England. The impending addition of the Elizabeth Line will further boost its appeal with London escapees lured by the scenery of the Chiltern Hills and North Wessex Downs that surround the town.
Welcome to happy living!
This development is right in the centre of the town centre, with a large selection of bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Bus and train services are within 5 minutes, and will be closer once the bridge to the station has opened. Having lived on the outskirts of Reading for many years, being in the centre has created no problems. I have no problems with noise, number of people and I as do not drive, parking availability does not affect me. I have enjoyed my first 3 months living here.
Please review your development:
Ever since I was first shown around the development, I realised very quickly what the benefits of living centrally would be, and they haven’t disappointed. The position, in one of Reading’s main streets, of the building is perfect. Easy to enter and always someone to say ‘hello’ to on entrance.
Cleanliness of the building is well maintained by the cleaning staff. Those on the maintenance team also do a great job, and are extremely friendly.
From a personal point of view, the building management has been extremely professional.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Only minor gripe would be the length of time before the other building is complete, but that is minor.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Following a medical issue in January, the whole team were great that day, and continue to check on me. It only takes a quick moment, but the knowledge that I am being kept an eye on, makes me feel very secure. It is very much appreciated.
Otherwise, I’ve not really had any ‘real’ issues.
