A guide to living in Yorkshire and the Humber

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

Living in Mercer West has been generally positive. The area has a good range of local shops and supermarkets, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés within a short walk. Open spaces are well-kept and nice for walks. Transport links are convenient with frequent buses into the city, although they can get crowded at peak times. The street itself is usually quiet with decent parking availability, and bin collections are regular. There’s minimal anti-social behaviour, though occasional traffic noise can be heard during busy hours.

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

Nothing much. We had viewed all the aminities before hand and were pretty satisfied with it mainly the location.

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

There is a wide range of local shops bars and restaurants as it is only a short walk to the city centre. However this means that there isn’t any open spaces near by. The transport links are amazing. It is a ten minute walk to the train station and there are many bus stops and routes only 2 minutes away. The main problem is parking availability. There is nowhere for guests to park and I know parking for residents is limited and subject to availability. Also, living near a major road and roundabout means there is lots of traffic noise and living near the fire station mean lots of sirens.

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

Building management have responded quickly and any issues have been fixed within a day.

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

I wish I had known how noisy the area is and that parking is not guaranteed for residents or guests.

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

There are one Tesco and Sainsbury’s around the apartment and it is every convenient. There is also some parking spaces for residents.

Yes, they answered me very quickly and fixed the issues

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

I know there is a small gym and a good sky lounge in the building
