The Quarters Croydon is an excellent place to live, location and proximity to transport links to Central London and the variously airports in and around London.

The bins are collected on time and the building is kept tidy all the time.

I’m really pleased that my home is very close to Sutton Station, which makes commuting and getting around extremely convenient. There’s a good range of local shops, cafés, and restaurants nearby, offering plenty of choice for day-to-day needs and dining out. The transport links are excellent, with frequent trains and reliable bus services. The area feels generally safe and friendly, though parking can be a bit limited at times. Bin collections are regular, and while there’s some traffic noise during rush hour, it’s not too disruptive overall.

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

Stuart responded quickly to my request and was able to fix problems regarding the flat efficiently. I really appreciated his prompt and professional help in resolving the issue without any delay.

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

I wish I had known how busy the area can get during peak travel times because of the station nearby. It’s not a major issue, but parking can sometimes be tricky in the evenings. On the positive side, I’d tell new neighbours to take advantage of the great transport links and the variety of nearby shops and restaurants—it really makes daily life convenient and enjoyable.
