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

Greenwich is a great area, with lots of green space and museums. I love being on the river, and visiting all of the local sites. My favourites are the Painted Hall and the Queens House, and — of course — Greenwich Park. Transport links from the development are good — Maze Hill is 15 minutes’ walk, and Cutty Sark and North Greenwich about 25 minutes. There are also a couple of buses to North Greenwich at the end of the road. Traffic flow is better since the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel.

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

Make the most of what Greenwich has to offer by exploring the museums and the park. Especially on weekdays when they are less packed.

What is the best feature of your home:

It’s quiet and well laid out, and the development is very well maintained. It’s cheap to heat and build quality is good. There’s lots of security so it feels safe.

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

The area has a good selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants, with convenient options for everyday needs and some diverse dining choices. There are several pleasant green spaces nearby, including Hillingdon Park. Transport links are solid — the Hayes & Harlington railway station is close by with frequent trains into central London, and several bus routes serve the area, although buses can sometimes get delayed during peak times.

NAOn a positive note, I didn’t realise how helpful and responsive the property managers, Eddie and Brian, would be — it’s made a big difference in feeling settled and supported here. I'd definitely advise new neighbours to reach out to them early for anything you need!

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is how well-maintained and modern the interior is — everything feels clean, updated, and thoughtfully arranged. The natural light in the main living area creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the overall layout makes great use of the space. It’s both comfortable and functional, which really makes it feel like home.

Blackhorse Road itself is quite nice. The reservoir is lovely. The local area is still pretty desolate though - as evidenced by the "people" who live in Tansy House.

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

The property managers, if indeed they exist, are pathetic. There's also no parking.

What is the best feature of your home:

At least we rent. I pity anyone who's bought here. What a disgrace.

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

Good: Quality of building and apartments are very high. Great insulation and EPC rating very efficient. Two gardens. Underfloor heating. Private Garage. Bad: service charges and FirstPort

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

Change of management company to FirstPort. Service charge fees can increase anytime and by any amount.

What is the best feature of your home:

Quality of the homes are very high compared to most new developments.

Location and diverse Muslim community is good but the maniac landlord made life hell as he puts his property in market to send tenant in merry go round as tenant has to be i to allow landlord's agents, surveyors, and all future buyers in which means tenant can not even work let alone rest and rejuvinate to focus on one's life. Save your money and run the other way.

landlord review is crucial to make informed decision

What is the best feature of your home:

LOCATION AND SIZE BUT QUALITY OF LIVING IS DRASTLY IMPACTED BY LANDLORD'S FREQUENT PUTTING PROPERTY ON SALE AS IT DEMANDED ALLOWING HIS AGENTS TO COME IN, LIVING ASIDE MY LIFE AND WORK
