Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It's one minute walking distance from an Aldi, Co Op, Sainsburys and Marks and Spencers, an organic health food store and a Farmer's Market on Saturdays. It's ten minutes walk from the doctor's and the local hospital, twenty minutes walk from the wonderful Waterlow Park and Highgate, next to the Archway tube and close to various bistros on the Upper Holloway Road. It's walking distance to the cinema there and a Waitrose. The library is literally one minute away and there are several good schools.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very well so far. Prompt and efficient, always professional. Very rigorous with health and safety.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You will need more fridge space! Or to eat out more often. Invest in good noise-cancelling earplugs.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great range of local shops. Very convenient. Only concern is safety of the area lots of activity near the station and at night of anti social behaviour
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes very quick. Everytime I have put in a maintenance request it has been responded to very quickly
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just the area feeling a bit unsafe at night around the station and nearby areas sometimes yelling fights etc

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good aspects: - Close to the city of London, so very commutable by bike. - 5 min walk from the central line and 10 min walk from the District line. - Large Sainsbury’s 7 mins away and plenty of independent grocers on Roman Rd. - 15 mins walk from Victoria pk, ideal for running/weekend walks. Bad aspects: - Directly opposite a train line, so kicks up dust into the flat and constant noise - No shortage of degenerates on Bethnal Green rd at all times - Close to Whitechapel, which isn’t great.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I feel the sense of urgency could be better. For example when the BBQ broke.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It takes a while for the team to procure anything e.g fitness bike, new pool cues etc

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is quite safe and there are enough cafés and nice places to discover, and I plenty of parks nearby. I find this place nice to live in.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, and they always try to respond quickly. Very nice team.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I didn’t know this place was so well protected from the sound of the trains. The walls and windows are super modern and stop the sound from the outside. At first when I saw the location, I thought we would hear the sound of the trains from the flats but in reality, you can’t hear anything because everything is super modern.

Feeling at home in Vantage Point

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great range of shops, restaurants and very quick access to the tube (under 1 min). Anti social behaviour and traffic is a small problem in the area as Archway does have a lot of homelessness - but the building itself is very safe, with overnight security and right next to transport links so you don’t have to walk far in the dark. It’s also very well lit so we have never found the surrounding area an issue.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Problems are always sorted with speed and efficiency. The only small issue is when the lifts break down (this is fairly often) but there are 3 lifts and one or two of them is still working
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s nothing to share here. The viewing is fairly transparent
