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

The location is great! It is in a hotspot for restaurants, bars and shops. Many would think being in such an area would make it loud. It is the opposite, the building is very quiet, making it a much more enjoyable stay.

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

Any issues in my flat have always been resolved quickly and to a good standard.

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

Nothing comes to mind, having a tour of the building before committing my stay here ensured myself I was going to be living in a good environment.

Lochrin Quay is the place to be!

Lynn (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Lochrin Quay, EH3

Nov 2025

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

Living at Lochrin Quay is absolutely amazing. I’m so close to many shops and restaurants. The flat is less than a five minute walk away from the nearest bus stop, which makes it very easy for people like me who have to take public transportation every day. Because we are further away from the street there’s very little traffic noise as well. It also helps that the flat is positioned right next to the canal, which is beautiful!

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

Building management has not brought any issues since we have moved in. Any issues that have been brought up to them are addressed swiftly, and they ensure that they work around our busy schedule, which is greatly appreciated.

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

Although the building is further away from the road, there is still a lot of of human traffic around the canal area. Sometimes this can get quite noisy. Although this isn’t usually a problem, I have experienced instances where it gets loud during late hours of the night.
