Yet to find any negatives. However couple of instances happening at the front and back of complex involved police ?not sure on crime rates

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

N/a

The building has basic facilities, but we did not want to pay extra for a concierge or gym. It has a communal garden at the back and pleasant trees at the front.

Building management is always going to be a bone of contention as it is a big cost, but chloe is very responsive and good at her job.

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

Zone 2 on piccadilly line is great, and the location is very quiet – although it seems it should be noisy with the stadium! There is a nice sense of community, built by the communal area at the back of the flats. Nearby you have Holloway road and blackstock road – both great for food drink and shopping.

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

– the garden behind us is only for residents. The selling agents told us it was public. This is better, especially as it is a ground floor flat.

This does not sound genuine, but really we’re very happy here!

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

Yes, Chloe our rep is very responsive. We has issues with car park keys when we first moved in and couldn’t initially get an answer, but since we made proper contact with Lee Baron and introduced ourselves it has been good.

Dislike the lack of safety feeling walking around – even need to be careful with personal belongings

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

How safety it is not and the lack of shops

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

Like:
1. Very convenient location with roughly 3 minutes walk to South Quay DLR.
2. All the areas surrounding it have been refurbished recently, which means wide sidewalks, clean and modern infrastructure.
3. Multitude of grocery stores such as Tesco, Co-Op, Asian supermarket and couple of restaurants and cafes within 10 minutes of walking distance.
4. It isn’t in the main roads of the Isle of Dogs (Marsh Wall, Westferry Rd, East Ferry, Limeharbour, etc) so it is very quiet.
5. Green area next to the development and the dock within 5-6 minutes.

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

– Depending on the season, it can be quite windy although it is across the area and not the development itself.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

While it offers excellent value and it is already high standard, I wished it could be a little bit more luxurious, especially in communal and corridors with little touches such as paintings, better carpet, some deco, etc.
