Like:
– The green spaces in the development
– Build design e.g. nice kitchens, big windows, good layouts and storage
– The storage is amazing and a big selling point
– Very well insulated and cheap to keep warm.
– Like having a good size balcony.

Whilst the noisy main roads can be a frustration, the area has developed positively during our years here

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Dislike:

Like:
– The connections are good – DLR, buses, Underground.

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

– That there isn’t enough parking.
– There’s nowhere to pop for a drink, coffee, brunch.
– Unrivalled in how big and spacious the flats are.

What is the best feature of your home:

The storage is really great and unlike any new builds we have seen. Also how bright and light the rooms are is a big bonus.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Good location, close to commuting to canary wharf and bank with good transportation options.
Enoyable experience living in this area.

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

I would not have bought if they have stated the real service charge figures on the sales document. Service charge is 90% more than what was advertised.

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

No they have not responded to any issues we have raised as a group. This was mentioned in the House of Commons as we got in touch with our MP in Dec 2018. It has been an ongoing dispute for 3 years.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

There are local shops and even a pub. There are a choice of libraries a short cycle away, and only a short way from Canning Town and East India station, where there are supermarkets.
The location is not perfect as some (including my own) buildings are by the main road, causing the balcony to become extremely filthy (however the property managers arrange window washing, which is amazing), and a lot of noise.

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

Living in a flat by the road – How dirty the balcony can get in just a few days. How often cars and motorbikes speed past, being incredibly loud during early morning or late night. Plenty of accidents too.
We cannot open the windows because of the car exhaust smell, dirt and dust, and the noise.

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

One being I, along with other residents had my bike stolen. Building management responded by supporting us and the police in resolving.
We have also noticed increased security precautions in place following the incident.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Quiet, well-maintained and highly communal area, somewhat lacking in shops/facilities but not too far a walk to Canning Town and Poplar/Chrisp Street. Served by 2 unreliable buses but 10-20 mins walk from DLR. Green spaces are lacking any features but there are 3 of them and all have upcoming work.

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

Over the top police presence for such a quiet area which has been mishandling their treatment of minority (esp Bangla) residents.
