Ideal area to live, lots of shops & restaurants. Great transport links. Next to the Trainline so can be noisy although with windows closed you can’t hear anything.

The utilities are set with certain companies and they are not the best, with prices quite high that are not changeable.

Not responded . No replies . One staff was actually very rude to me

Can’t complain!

Ten Degrees, CR0

Sept 2025

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

there’s a fantastic range of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby, with Boxpark adding a real buzz to the area. Green spaces like Park Hill are close, which is great for a breather. Transport links are excellent, with East Croydon station just minutes away, making central London very accessible, though trains can be overcrowded at peak times. On the downside, traffic noise can be noticeable, and parking in the area is very limited. Bin collections are reliable and the street is generally well-kept

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

Maintenance team are always responsive and deal quickly with issues

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

More about the amenities but this can be done by booking viewings through the main website

Manager response
