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

There are plenty of grocery shops nearby which makes it easy for me to carry out my weekly grocery runs. There are also some nice restaurants and cafes nearby which are in walking distance. Transport is easy as the bus stop is right outside the building and the train station is only about a 6 minute walk away. Although sometimes it can get noisy due to traffic, it is not a common occurrence and it is an overall peaceful area.

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

They have responded extremely quickly and my issues were fixed within the same week of me raising them.

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

I wish I had known how hot my apartment would get during the summer. On the really hot days, simply drawing the blinds would not be enough -- you would have to get an aircon / fan to ensure that the apartment does not overheat. This may not be the case for all units, however it was for mine, so I got a fan to help with the heat.

Local shops, grocers, and transit links make this development convenient and well connected. However, the area tends to be noisy at night between the hospital close by, busy roads, and taverns and clubs.

Building management always deals with issues quite promptly and is always friendly. The only recurring issue which seems to be an ongoing problem is the trash chute not working.

I wish I had known more about the specific area as it’s quite loud and busy more often than not & has a decent amount of homeless activity.

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

The building is built right above Archway tube station and within two minutes of four grocery stores, which is incredibly convenient. There are some decent restaurants, pubs, and bakeries around, mixed with kebab stands and some lower end shops. The area itself is quite green and while the building is directly over a very busy area, the traffic and noise feels more vibrant than tiresome.

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

Somewhat, we've had a few minor issues with the refuge shoot that have not yet been fixed and some unfixable features with the hood and bathroom exhaust systems. Otherwise it all works well.

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

Moving in with a large moving truck is painful. There is a very long corridor with two lifts and the building will not privatise them during move-in, meaning it takes an inordinately long time to move in with any furniture.
