A great location to start your journey in Aberdeen

Angelina (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Point, AB10

Jul 2025

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

The Point is in a great location as it is in the middle of the city centre. Union Square - where most of the shops are located is a 10-15 minute walk and Bon Accord Shopping Centre is also a mere 5 minute walk. You are however located next to the bar distract (Belmont Street) so it can get quite noisy on Saturday nights (especially since the window in our room faces the pubs). There is 24-hour concierge so you won't have to worry about drunk people wandering in after a night out. You're allowed to use the staff parking when you're moving in which means you can bring furniture etc. without having to worry about hauling it from across town. But otherwise Bon Accord (Harriet Street) Car Park is a few minutes away and it costs £95 a month per car.

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

I've not really raised any issues so far so can't really comment. I have noted that our room is too small for two people to live in but there isn't much that they can do if they haven't got a lot of one bedroom apartments available.

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

I don't think cooking in our studio is the easiest thing to do. I would have probably brought less cookery items if I knew I wouldn't be cooking much since there isn't much counter space, and after cooking you don't have a lot of space to clean and wash up. The only time when I'd cook a proper meal is when I'm in the club room, otherwise I tend to lean towards instant/microwave meals or deliveries.

Manager response

Hi Angelina, and thank you for sharing your experience at The Point. It’s fantastic to hear that Reuben’s tour and Phil’s warm welcome set the tone for your move-in, and that our mixology session was a hit. We love hosting events that bring residents together, so we’ll certainly look into adding more social evenings. Thanks again for the recommendation - it means a lot. If there’s anything else we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the team.

Fantastic location and modern apartments

Darren B (Tenant)

The Point, AB10

Jun 2025

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

Very central location with lots of amenities close by. Discounted parking permits available for Harriet Street & Loch Street car parks, which are just few minutes walk away from the apartment. Despite being right next door to the busy night life of Belmont street, it is nice and quiet inside the apartments. There is traffic noise from Denburn and the railway line, but only noticeable when the apartment window is open,

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

Queries have been responded to very quickly and issues resolved in a timely manner.

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

The social events hosted on a regular basis. These are a great opportunity to meet other residents. The recent quiz night was very enjoyable, with snacks and drinks provided, and there were prizes available to the winning teams.

Manager response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback Darren, we’re delighted to hear how much you’re enjoying your studio and that the garden room’s views of Aberdeen are giving you that perfect chill-out spot. I’ll also be sure to pass on your shout-outs to Phil and Jamie - they will be so pleased to hear how much their friendly, helpful service means to you and that you're enjoying your home here at The Point.

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

Living in my area has been a genuinely rewarding experience. The neighbourhood strikes a perfect balance between vibrant local life and peaceful surroundings. There’s an excellent variety of shops, cosy cafés, and highly rated restaurants all within walking distance, making day-to-day life incredibly convenient. Beautiful open spaces and parks nearby offer great spots to relax or go for a walk. Transport links are a major plus—buses and trains run frequently, making commuting smooth and stress-free. The street is clean and quiet, with reliable bin collections, easy parking, and a strong sense of community. It’s been a truly enjoyable place to call home.

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

The building management has always responded promptly and professionally to any issues raised, ensuring they are resolved quickly and efficiently. Communication is clear, and follow-ups are consistent, which gives residents confidence and peace of mind.

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

A polite suggestion would be to consider adding a dedicated storage space within the development. While the apartments are well-designed and comfortable, having additional storage would offer extra convenience and enhance the overall living experience for residents.

Manager response

Hello AA & SI, and thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of Aston Place. We’re delighted to hear how much you've enjoying being here and especially that our communal facilities have added real value to your daily life. Thank you also for your kind words about Priyanka, Abs Basher, Telian, Abdul, and the entire Aston Place team. They work hard every day to provide prompt, friendly service, and I know they’ll be really pleased to hear how much of a difference their efforts have made. We also appreciate your suggestion about adding dedicated storage space within the development and will share this feedback with our design and operations teams. Thank you for choosing Aston Place as your home. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we’re honored that you would encourage others to join our community!
