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

The local area offers a great mix of shops, restaurants, bars, and open spaces, making day-to-day life very convenient. Transport links are excellent and provide easy access to the rest of Edinburgh. One of the best aspects of the area is the growing sense of community. The development is pet-friendly and home to a diverse mix of residents, including families and children, which creates a welcoming and neighbourly atmosphere. The area feels safe, well maintained, and pleasant to live in, with no significant issues regarding noise, anti-social behaviour, or cleanliness.

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

While I have not needed to raise any maintenance issues, the building management team has always been approachable, professional, and proactive in their communication. Their presence helps create a safe and well-managed environment.

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

As someone relocating internationally, I wish I had known more about the additional steps and requirements that can arise during the application process. A guide for overseas residents moving to Scotland would be a helpful resource. I also didn't expect such a strong sense of community within the development, which has been a very pleasant surprise.

Manager response

Hi Josephine, thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're really pleased to hear Dockside feels safe, well maintained, and welcoming, and it's especially lovely to hear your kind words about Belle – we'll be sure to pass that on. We also really appreciate your feedback and suggestions, which are helpful as we continue to improve the resident experience. Thank you again for your recommendation!

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

The area has a good mix of local amenities, including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, with larger retail facilities also within easy reach. There are several parks and green spaces nearby which are well maintained and popular for walking and recreation. Public transport links are generally reliable, with regular bus routes and convenient access to nearby train stations and main roads, although traffic can become busy during peak commuting hours. The street itself is usually quiet and friendly, with neighbours keeping to themselves while still being approachable. Parking is generally available, although it can occasionally be limited in the evenings or at weekends. Bin collections are regular and dependable. As with most residential areas, there can sometimes be minor noise from traffic or passing pedestrians, but there have been no major issues with anti-social behaviour.

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

The building management team has generally responded in a professional and timely manner when issues have been raised. Communication is usually clear, and most maintenance or management concerns are acknowledged quickly and resolved within a reasonable timeframe. While occasional follow-ups have sometimes been necessary for smaller issues, the overall experience has been positive and well organised.

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

One thing worth knowing before moving in is that parking can become quite limited during busier evenings and weekends, especially if visitors are staying over, so it helps to plan ahead. It’s also useful to know that some areas of the development can be quieter than others depending on proximity to roads, communal entrances or shared spaces. On the positive side, the community is generally friendly and the area is very convenient for transport links, shops and everyday amenities, which became more valuable after living here for a while than was obvious during the initial viewing.

Manager response

It’s great to hear you’ve settled in well at Dockside and continue to find it a comfortable and well-managed place to live. We really appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and your comments will be taken on board as we continue to improve the resident experience!

Dockside Review

Rachel H (Tenant)

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

Positives: Very close to lots of amenities - a wide range of shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. Also really convenient for the tram, which is a big plus. We've found the building to be much quieter than anticipated as well, which is great. Negative: The only downside is the lack of parking available for residents, and the cost of a parking space is extremely expensive.

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

We experienced a leak from our shower, and someone came to look at it almost immediately - very quick response.

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

The parking situation wasn't fully explained before move-in. We were told it was first-come, first-served, but the actual cost of a space wasn't mentioned and turns out to be quite high. Worth asking about upfront if you're planning to have a car. On the positive side, the building is much quieter than you'd expect from a viewing, which has been a lovely surprise.
