Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Wonderful staff & amenities. So convenient. Great location which is centrally located. Can be noisy at night with young people at Pound’s Park, but other than that surprisingly quiet for city center.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Perfect! Super responsive and friendly. I appreciate how communicative and available they are- the managers are not tucked away in an office out of sight , they operate at the reception and are very friendly. Highly recommend this building.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just how noisy Pounds Park is at night time. I would have rented on the courtyard side of building.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area offers good shops and restaurants, with a great park nearby. Transport links are reliable, though the evening bus service could be better. On my street, parking is simple and collections are always on time. It's a quiet neighborhood with very low traffic noise.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Haven’t had any problems to begin with Amazing service

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I really like the convenience of living here. There are plenty of shops, cafés and supermarkets within walking distance, which makes everyday life easy. Public transport is also close by so getting around the city isn’t a problem. The area feels mostly safe and calm, especially during the week. it can get a bit noisy at night on weekends. Overall, it’s a good location with a lot of useful amenities nearby.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any time I’ve had a small issue or question, management has been quite responsive. They usually reply within a reasonable time and try to sort things out without making it complicated. It feels like they do care about residents and keep the building running smoothly, which makes living here more comfortable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that noise can travel a bit more between flats than expected, especially on weekends. It’s still a nice place to live, but this is something future residents might want to be aware of so they can choose the right floor or unit for their preference. Other than that, the building has been a good choice.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very central area, mostly quiet, can hardly hear the road. Good parking available too and close to rail station and transport links. Sometimes noisy with emergency service vehicles but only if the window is open.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they’ve responded instantly and any issues are always resolved quickly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I can’t think of anything as I felt I got all the info I needed when I was shown around prior to moving

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very close to Kelham Island for bars, restaurants, coffee. Short walk into the city centre. Always parking availability. Bins never smell due to good air conditioning. No anti-social behaviour since I moved in 15th September.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I haven’t specifically raised anything myself. So unable to comment directly on this.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Additional costs: £40 for hot water only (through homebox and this is non negotiable). £100 per month for parking permit but not the one in a secure garage.
