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

The location is very central with a quick walk to the train station. Some of the nearby roads can be a bit dodgy with homeless people but it’s easy to avoid these at night.

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

There have been a few issues but Shari and Julia have been great at helping me and sorting things out.

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

Sometimes it can take some time for issues to be fixed, for example, the central app where you report maintenance issues and book events hasn’t been working for a few weeks so I haven’t been able to join any social activities with other residences. However, the team have been great at keeping me updated for when it should work again and it doesn’t cause any day to day issues.

Manager response

Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We're really glad you're enjoying the apartment, amenities and location. It's great to know the gym, rooftop lounge and apartment spec, have contributed to making New York Square a place you'd recommend. A special thank you for recognising Shari and Julia. They work hard to support our residents every day, and I'm sure they'll be delighted about this feedback. We're also glad you've found the team helpful and communicative when issues have arisen. Resident experience is our priority, and we always aim to keep everyone updated while we're working through any challenges. It's fantastic to hear you'd like to get involved in more social activities. We love hearing residents' ideas, so if there are any events or community activities you'd like to see at New York Square, please let us know, we're always open to suggestions and looking for new ways to bring our resident community together.
