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

Excellent access to green spaces at Cassiobury Park and walks along the canal as well as good access to the Metropolitan line station for access to Central London. Morrisons is immediately next door and other local shops, including the post-office are a short walk away. There is a lack of high quality restaurants and bars in the immediate area but Watford town centre is very accessible with more choice. Visitor parking is very limited with payment required in Morrisons.

Wish I’d known the dog park closed after a certain time, that’s the only downfall!

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

The area has a warm, welcoming feel with friendly neighbours and a genuine sense of community. When I moved in, a neighbour even brought homemade cookies, which really shows how kind people are here. There are plenty of cafés, shops and open green spaces within easy reach, and the development is close to the business park, which is ideal for anyone working nearby. It is also conveniently located for the Metropolitan line, making commuting straightforward. The only real downside is that parking can be limited at busy times, but it has not affected daily life too heavily. Overall, it is a safe and friendly area, with lots of lovely pets around too.

Broken cupboard shelf - fixed within 3 days.very convenient. Asked if they have permission to enter while I’m at work.

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

I wish I had known in advance that parking outside of the building can be limited at certain times, although it is manageable once you live here. On the positive side, the neighbours are incredibly welcoming, and the building has a much stronger community feel than you notice during a viewing.

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

Tram right outside with bus routes for easy access. There is local cinema and activities and inside cortland there is the outside area and the gym. There isn’t much bad, do not own a car so cannot comment on parking, the bins do get full but it’s a given and cortland try hard to keep them tidy. There isn’t any traffic noise which is surprising being on broad street.

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

I had an issue with the bathroom lights suddenly going dim, I put in a service request and it was amended so quickly. A member of the service team came in and fixed both lights within minutes and it hasn’t been a problem since. Can’t say any problems or issues.

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

Honestly can’t think of anything, Only thing I can say it is cold sometimes.

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

Great community. The building runs numerous activities and events over November/Decembwr which are great for families and students studying for exams who need a tea break!
