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

Local shops are easy to get to. There are several good restaurants including pizza, burgers, fish and chips, Indian and Thai. The nearest station is Farncombe which is free to park for commuting but is about a 20 minute drive away. You can also get to Guildford in a similar time. I haven’t seen any ASB here, the bins are collected on time, there is sufficient lighting and minimal traffic noise. There is a one stop shop a few minutes just outside the development which is very convenient.

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

We found that once living in the house, the noise travels through the walls and doors. We don’t know whether it is to do with the fact it is a town house design, but we feel more insulation could be fitted to reduce sound travelling through the walls etc.

Living at Royal Arsenal Riverside has been a great experience overall. The local area offers a good mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants—everything from artisan bakeries to cozy pubs and casual dining spots. There are several major supermarkets within walking distance, which makes daily errands easy. The open spaces along the river are beautiful and perfect for walking or relaxing, and the development itself is well-maintained with lots of greenery. The Elizabeth Line is a major plus—super fast and convenient when running on time, though occasional delays do happen. There’s also Thames Clipper riverboat service and good bus connections nearby, so getting around is generally easy without needing a car. Parking is limited if you don’t have a designated spot, but the area feels safe and is relatively quiet despite being close to transport. Bin collections are regular, and I haven’t experienced any major issues with anti-social behaviour or noise. Overall, it’s a comfortable and convenient place to live with a strong community vibe.

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 the expensive service charge—it adds up more than expected. It’s worth checking the full breakdown in advance. Also, be aware that some facilities may not always be fully open or available year-round.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is the excellent ventilation and heating/cooling system, along with great insulation that maintains a consistent indoor temperature and effectively blocks out external noise, creating a quiet and comfortable living environment.
