We’re in the Headingley Area, so there’s so much life. Hyde Park Book Club, a gig space that constantly has concerts, is 5 minutes away. Hyde Park Picture House is about a 10 minutes walk and they have lots of film screenings, where they invite directors. Brudenell Social Club is in the area as well, and lots of secret shows happen there when international artists fly in for music festivals. The skatepark is about a 5 minute walk away as well. If clubs are your sort of thing, there are a few away, and the bus stop is right across the road in Headingley Lane — so its just 10 minutes into the centre.

I’m quite happy, I don’t feel anything was kept from me.

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

Building management are extremely quick with resolving issues. We had a problem with meterpay and our electricity, and by the time we got back home from the groceries, it was resolved.

In terms of facilities there is on site parking and a well equipped residence lounge which is very pleasant. There are also green spaces all around with easy access to benches but these do need modernising with new benches as the old ones are quite run down. There is an issue with many many cars parking at the front despite the residences not allowing this. The parcel lockers are convenient as well.

The maintenance within the apartments is very very good and everything is completed professionally and quickly but numerous aspects on the outside need work such as broken tiles being left for far too long.

The management are brilliant and do a great job at both offering friendly assistance with everything as well as contacting us frequently. I do wish we were updated on maintenance and what is going on as there can be quite loud work in the corridors with no notice.

Overall a really good place to live for a good price with great staff.

Headingley Park is located very conveniently within walking distance of Headingley as well as Leeds City centre and the immediate are is well connected but also set back providing a nice sense of privacy.

A train station is only 10 minutes walk away which is very convenient and there are many local bus stops and shops within only 5 minutes.

The are can be a little rough at times especially being so close to Hyde Park – there is quite the little problem at times but this is only in certain areas and the development is very clean.

I wish we had know a little more about the cost of living here with how much each aspect costs such as WiFi and electricity but overall everything is reasonable.

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

Very quick responses overall with great attention to detail and making sure that everything is taken care of propped. It really is great having people on site during the week too and that is something we really appreciate.

Lived here for over a year. Can’t fault anything. There is an on-site reception where you can go about any issues. I have only had one issue which was sorted quickly. The residence is quiet. Great area as you can walk into both Headingley and Leeds City Centre easily.

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

I expected to have a lot of noisy neighbours but was pleasantly surprised that the sound proofing of the flats is really good.

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

Yes, my oven broke on a Sunday. Was fixed by the Tuesday!

Bus stops to the town central is just across the road, and the bus frequency is quite satisfactory. Normal bus ride takes 15 mins. Headingley Lane is clean and has very few littering problem. Much better than Brudenell area which is more crowded. Though facing the Victoria Road, there are over 50m of distance from the kerb. The traffic noise is minimal.

The referencing process is always a hurdle for new settlers but mine this time was quite smooth. That gives me much confidence in turning to ‘built for renters’ developments in the future.

The management office is doing a great job. Information about setting up account in Meterpay and how to use the packcity lockers are given straight to my email.
