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

Ample parking space, close to schools and essential amenities. There is easy access to both bus and train services, making commuting convenient. The neighbourhood is generally quiet, with regular bin collections and minimal antisocial behaviour

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

The building management has been responsive and helpful, addressing issues quickly and professionally whenever concerns have been raised

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

wish I had known how quickly maintenance requests are handled and how well-managed the building really is. It would have given me even more confidence before moving in. I’d also advise new neighbours to check local transport options—they are very convenient and make commuting much easier.
