Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Fantastic range of shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. Plus the well house is right outside the train station. Best schools in the UK. Good crime and low depravation metrics. However, it is poorly connected to the underground. And the proximity to the station means quite a bit of train noise.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Just as other reviews mention, Stuart is fantastic! So quick to solve your problems.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Train noise does start to bother. New construction coming up next door. No noise yet from the site, but it looks like it may become a problem soon.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This apartment is in a fantastic location. The area offers everything you need, with excellent accessibility and transport links. Train stations are literally a minute away, making it incredibly easy to get around and connect to various parts of central London quickly and conveniently. There’s also a high street just a five-minute walk from the building, where you can find all the essential shops, supermarkets, cafés, and services. Overall, it’s a very well-connected and practical place to live, combining convenience, accessibility, and a great neighbourhood feel.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
See above - generally managed team is always very helpful and approachable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
All the social events organised by the management team.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Walthamstow is an amazing area, it's near the reservoirs, has a vibrant high street, and many hidden gems. The commute to central London is very convenient because of the Victoria line and the Overground, and overall it's quite pleasant living there.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has been prompt to address any of the issues we've had. One time, when there was a heating issue in the area, they ensured that a technician came to the building the next day and had it fixed. George and the team also went above and beyond to help us with a personal request. We truly appreciate their support.

There's a cute area called Walthamstow Village Square you can visit to explore some of the area!
