Close buy to shops, bars and transport without being in the centre. There’s lots going on, and can get everywhere easily without having the problems of being in an area in the city.

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

Yes, all problems were logged and resolved within 24 hours with no issues. Was really easy, with no hassle.

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

Would like to know how to use the intercom system but don’t really need it at the moment.

Headingley is a vibrant and welcoming area with excellent shops, cafés, pubs, and lovely green spaces like Beckett Park. Transport links are reliable, with frequent buses and a nearby train station making it easy to get around. Good parking spaces. My street feels safe and friendly, with regular bin collections and a great community vibe. A lively, convenient place to live with lots of charm

Headingley park is a great location. It's on Headingley Lane which has frequent buses in and our of city centre, and its only a 30 minute into city centre. There are also some Leeds city rentable bikes by the entrance on Victoria Road, but I've never used these; not have I used the onsite bike storage. I haven't needed parking either, but Headingley Park definitely has lots of space. There are plenty of local smaller shops, or there is Headingley Arndale about 15 minutes away with most shops you would need. Lots of good takeaway options around too.

We had a cupboard fall apart at oen point. We emailed Charlotte and Rob sorted the issue in 2 days. We're happy with how quick management always responds to issues/questions.

If you work in city centre, you should really save yourself the bus money and walk if you are able. I've found that the bus usually takes around 20 minutes depending on timetables/delays. I've managed to consistently walk into city centre in 30 minutes by cutting through Woodhouse Moor. It's £2.50 for a bus ticket now. If thats two trips a day, 5 shifts a week, 52 weeks over your tenancy, thats £1,350.00 you'd save in a year!!!

Living in my local area has both pros and cons. On the positive side, there’s a good range of local shops and restaurants, including a few independent cafes and a decent supermarket within walking distance. The open spaces nearby are well-maintained and great for walks or relaxing on weekends. Transport links are generally convenient — buses run frequently and the train station is just a short walk away. However, traffic congestion during rush hour can be frustrating, and occasional delays in public transport are a common issue. My street is relatively quiet and safe, but parking can be a challenge, especially in the evenings. Bin collections are regular, though sometimes recycling isn’t picked up on time. There’s very little anti-social behaviour, and while some traffic noise exists during peak times, it’s not overwhelming. Overall, it’s a pleasant place to live with room for improvement.

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

Building management has generally responded promptly to urgent issues, such as repairs or safety concerns, but can be slower and less communicative when it comes to non-urgent matters or routine maintenance updates.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that some of the apartments can experience occasional noise from nearby construction or traffic during peak hours, which isn’t noticeable during a short viewing. Also, while the building is very secure, parcel delivery can sometimes be a bit inconsistent, so I’d recommend setting up a reliable parcel locker or collection option if you receive frequent deliveries. A helpful tip for new neighbours: get to know the building management team early—they’re approachable and knowing who to contact makes resolving any issues much quicker.

Headingley is a fantastic area with loads of great bars, restaurants, and shops nearby. It’s got a lively atmosphere without being too noisy, and there are plenty of green spaces for walks. Transport links are really convenient, with easy access to the city centre and beyond.

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

The building management team has been fantastic. Any issues we have raised have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. When we had a small leak, they arranged for it to be fixed straight away, and communication throughout was great. They are always friendly, approachable, and happy to help with any questions.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the parking operates on a one-way system, which means I have to drive around the entire Headingley Park development to exit. I understand it is designed for safety reasons, but in my opinion, it actually feels more dangerous having to drive a longer route rather than taking a shorter, more direct way out.
