A guide to living in South Glamorgan

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

Location, location , location as they say ! Excellent all round . 2 minute walk to Cardiff central train station ( back entrance ) and a 5 min walk to the front entrance and bus interchange. I don’t drive so parking is not an issue for me, but just be mindful that space is limited although plenty of car parks around the area. The only time I hear the traffic is when my window is open but that’s not an issue on the 25th floor !

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

The Gramercy Tower team are great. Luke and Isobel are always on hand to help out and take all comments on board and get any issues sorted out immediately

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

No issues with anything ! The place is quiet, no issue with neighbours. The views are amazing whether your on the roof top terrace or you are on a high floor like myself, floor to ceiling windows with plenty of light

I’ve enjoyed living in Tai Afon. One of the best things about it is the location – it’s within walking distance of Cardiff city centre and very close to the train station, which makes travelling and getting around extremely easy. The area is generally quiet, feels safe, and the building is well maintained. Parking is convenient, with spaces available right next to the property. At the moment there aren’t many shops, cafés or restaurants directly around the development, but new cafés and retail units are expected to open on the ground floor at the next month, which should make the area even better. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to live with excellent transport links and easy access to everything the city centre has to offer.

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

Whenever I had a question or needed help, the building management team responded quickly and professionally. During the moving-in process, both Llyr and Anna were especially helpful, making everything straightforward and stress-free. They were always friendly, easy to contact, and willing to help whenever needed.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the construction work taking place nearby can sometimes be noticeable during the day. It’s usually not a major issue, but there can be periods where the noise is a little disruptive if you’re working or studying from home. Other than that, I’ve found the area and the building to be a great place to live.

The seagulls get up earlier than l do! Otherwise so far so good. The local neighbourhood is well developed and further things happening in the near future.

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

Yes on request and an immediate response. The team is working well together with the customer service being their primary focus.

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

Nothing really. From my final visit to moving in the whole process took a matter of days not weeks!

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

Gramercy tower is located right by the city centre with great access to all the shops and restaurants you would want, but it’s located just enough out of the busy streets that it’s still a peaceful place to live. The apartments are also very soundproof so we never noticed any noise from the streets or other flats.

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

Yes they were quick to respond and active in finding resolutions for any problems that occurred.

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

We didn’t notice there was a back entrance at first so carried our furniture round the front!

Close to train station and 10 min walk to the city. It's very quiet although the building is in the city but the windows are really good also no noise from neighbours. There is no parking space (just for a few flats) but it's easy to park nearby.

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

All issues have been sorted promptly and the staff was always super helpful.

The location is perfect close to local shops (two Lidl stores 20 min walk from GT, the same for IKEA).Train station is just 3 min walk.
