Variety of shops & facilities available in the high street. Very convenient to commute to different places by means of train/ buses.

Comfortable Living with Great Amenities and Minor Downsides

Enclave: Croydon, CR0

May 2025

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

Living in my local area has its pros and cons. On the positive side, there's a good range of local shops, restaurants, and cafes, with a mix of independent and chain options. The open spaces nearby, including parks and walking trails, are a real bonus—well-kept and ideal for relaxing or exercising. Transport links are generally reliable, with buses and trains running regularly, although services can be delayed during peak times or weekends

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

The building management has responded quickly and professionally to any issues I've raised, usually resolving them without delays.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how limited the on-street parking can be, especially during evenings and weekends—it fills up quickly.
