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

The local area around Ten Degrees is vibrant and convenient. You have everything from coffee shops and restaurants to supermarkets and green spaces within walking distance. East Croydon station is nearby and makes commuting easy. Boxpark, Fairfield Halls and the shopping centre mean there is always something to do. It's lively but never feels unsafe, and the community vibe is welcoming.

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

Whenever I have raised an issue, the building management has responded promptly and effectively, addressing the problem quickly and following up to ensure it has been resolved.

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

I wish I had known about the building's community events and resident socials earlier. They are a great way to meet neighbours and get involved, so be sure to check the residents' app for upcoming activities.

Manager response

Its so nice to hear how you have found living at Ten Degrees to be a positive experience with a real community feel as this is something we care deeply about. Thanks again for your kind words and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming events soon. Kind regards, Chris Dias

Close to train station and Boxpark. Croydon has become very gentrified of late and hence it is nice to see all the development that is happening in the area.

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

Promptly and efficiently. Al issues have been sorted satisfactorily.

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

Cannot think of anything really as the staff were very transparent with everything.

Manager response

Dear J D, Thank you for leaving us a great review and we are very grateful for your kind words and feedback. Kind regards, Chris Dias
