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

Very great staff, lots of rooftops and common rooms, and events. Lots of eating out/coffee/bakery around, good resident discount offers too. Parking fees a bit on the extortionate side but understandable as its very limited, the resident PT is not the nicest but he might be outsourced.

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

Very quick and efficient, maintenance comes within a day or 2, depending on ur preference and their availability

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

There are only good surprises, you would feel at home straight up

Moved in a month ago and has been a smooth and amazing process. Friendly people, amazing hospitality and top notch facilities. Thank you to shari for her welcoming presence and guidance as well as Oliver who has been a great point of contact for general information and setting up when we first moved in. Both always happy to help no matter the amount of times we have called or needed clarity on something.

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

Very close to train station and other local amenities nothing ever feels to far and this is coming from someone who has gone from driving to walking so convenience is brilliant. Very quiet, clean and mature complex to live in so far. Only issue is parking makes it very difficult when family come over.

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

Not applicable yet as we have not had a chance to yet report any issues. Only some minor issues that are very easily resolved and nothing to complain about

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

Nothing applicable yet as we have only moved in a month ago
