A guide to living in West Midlands

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

Excellent location, right on the boarder with Chinatown and only a-10 min walk to Bullring shopping center that really has everything as well as Birmingham New Street and Moor Street stations that connects across the country. Plenty of restaurants and shops a short walk away. The building is secure, offers parking options, parcels holds and maintenance on site. There is some residual noise from the night bars on weekends but very good noise isolation when windows are closed.

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

Very quickly and professionally. Had no issues is anything was needed.

If you are very sensitive to noise then try a flat on a higher level as there is residual noise from neighbouring bars but only on the weekend and only when flat windows are left open.

I love how helpful the staff is. Eleni, Aman, Naqqash and many more from the front desk go out of their way to help me out. This is the most unique aspect of the residence and I am so grateful to all of them. They are the sole reason I am extending my rental contract.

Very promptly and has been very organised and clear since day one.

I wish I could have seen the gym before I moved in. It wouldn’t have affected my decision to move here but it just would’ve been nice however I appreciate I moved in very early so things were being built at the time. However the gym was completed by the 2nd day of my move in so didn’t cause much problem
