Great neighbourhood. I live on the edge of the development, so it's very quiet and private. Short walk to the local shop too. Overall, a very peaceful environment.

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

Recently moved up from Wales for work, and couldn't have found a better place to live for someone new to the city. The building has a bus and a tram stop outside, or is only a 15 minute walk, for going into the city center. There's a supermarket opposite and a cinema behind. It's on the border of Edgbaston Village, which has some high end bars and restaurants.

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

Problems or issues are dealt with immediately. Issues are raised via an app and are resolved by the time I get home from work the next day. A report of any work is logged on the app. Extremely efficient.

I have lived in this beautiful apartments for some months now and I will say that it worth the money, I do not enjoy dirty environment and this apartment is super clean. I would recommend this for all working class individuals. Finally, it’s furnished which makes it easy to rent and occupy. I greatly recommend this apartment for everyone, thanks.

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

Parking fee, I think it’s on the high side. Something should be done about this to allow lots of residents patronise the parking space than park outside.

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

The area is very convenient, with Aldi, Morrisons, Asda Express, and Costa all within walking distance. Cannon Hill Park is also nearby and is a great place for walks, exercise, and family time. It's close to Birmingham city centre, but without the noise and crowds that come with living right in the centre.

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

Any issues raised are dealt with quickly and professionally, and they always try to resolve problems as soon as possible.

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

Nothing major comes to mind. Overall, it has been a very smooth and positive experience living here.

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

There is a good range of artisanal coffee shops, lovely pubs and restaurants available within walking distance, the location couldn't be better for transport as it is on the moor st line, we found that parking can be a challenge if you dont use the underground parking but this is not surprising given the amount of units and adjacent commercial shops etc

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

Building management have been nothing short of exemplary, Qash and Mikey have been warm and welcoming and personable and it is clear they make a point of getting to know residents and going the extra mile to make sure we are informed and feel at home, running events and clearly communicating and responding to the issues I have raised with wifi, plumbing and general queries around moving in and the logistics - all in all the process has been made as simple as possible and I am truly grateful for the staff here.

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

I wish I knew that LG are becoming more strict with the right to decorate as we have queried painting and hanging adhesively connected decorations and told not to which we were initially told would be possible, I feel like it is a bit falsely advertised
