Very good location, close to 3 different stations and surrounded by grocery shops, restauarants, good attractions. However there is quite a lot of noise from the DLR and some anti social behaviour late at night.

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

I have never had a problem with anything in the building

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

Living in Riverstone Heights has been a great experience so far. The area offers a good range of local shops and supermarkets within walking distance, and there are several nice cafes and restaurants nearby, especially around the High Street. For green spaces, the nearby parks are well-kept and perfect for walks or relaxing on the weekends. Transport links are quite convenient—there are multiple bus routes and a nearby station that makes commuting into central London easy. Occasionally, there can be delays during peak hours, but overall the connections are reliable. Our street is generally quiet and residential, with a strong sense of community. Parking is limited, especially in the evenings, so having a permit or private space is important. Bin collections are regular and well-organized. We haven't experienced any anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is minimal considering the area. Overall, it’s a peaceful and well-connected place to live, with a good balance between urban convenience and community charm.

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

The building management has been incredibly responsive and helpful. Any issues we've raised have been addressed quickly and professionally, often within the same day. Their communication is clear, and they genuinely care about residents' comfort and satisfaction.

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

One thing I wish we had known before moving in is that there’s no on-site parking available, and street parking nearby can be quite difficult to find, especially in the evenings or on weekends. If you own a car, it’s something to seriously consider ahead of time. Also, while the building is generally quiet and well-maintained, there can be some occasional traffic noise from the nearby main road. That said, the flat itself is great, and the management team has been genuinely helpful whenever we've needed support.
