Home Sweet Home, Almost a Perfect 5!

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

I love that there’s a grocery store just downstairs, a gym right opposite, coffee shops , hair saloons and that the high street is just 5 minutes walk away from me. I don’t really care about bars and I don’t like to eat out but I have been able to order almost anything I like on uber with delivery less than 20 minutes so that’s awesome. The Elizabeth line train is just 6 minutes walk which I love . Really a huge plus to living here . It’s quiet and clean on the street. I love it. The apartment provides parking which requires you pay for it separately.. I wish that wasn’t so.. there’s no traffic noise… asides the sound of the train passing which I only hear when my window is open… so that’s good. I do wish there was a way to dispose the bin without having to walk downstairs lol.

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

All issues I’ve raised have been addressed especially with the new management. It’s great that there is an App which you can put in a request on and the management will immediately dispatch someone to handle it. Whether it is a service person or they themselves. Your issue gets sorted and there’s usually an immediate response letting you know it’s being handled . I have no issues with management at all. Also I’m pretty easy going I hardly have a reason to contact management so I’m good.

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

The building’s insulation is good because you don’t hear the noise from the trains and it retains heat but I am still super cold during winter. I don’t particularly like how the heating works… I get cold eaisly tho so I wouldn’t know if it’s a me problem but I advise buying a portable heater if you run cold like me… Neigbours are private and mind their business. If that’s you then you will love living here… the storage isn’t great so if you’re have a lot of stuff go for at least a 2 bedroom…

Mitre Yard - High quality, outstanding new build in Zone 2/3

Jai G (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Mitre Yard, NW10

Nov 2026

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

Loads of local shops and also big supermarkets nearby such as Ladbroke Grove Sainsbury's. There are many independent cafes and restaurants on Harrow Road to try out too. The development is a short walk from the Grand Union Canal too. Transport links are good, having a bus stop outside, Bakerloo line and also Central and H&C a short bus ride away from White City/Wood Lane. The apartments are triple glazed so you don't hear the traffic from the main road at all, or the trains behind the building either. Plenty of parking available at Euro Car Parks with a discount for residents. Bins are taken regularly so there is always space. The area is mostly industrial so you don't see much ASB.

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

Always with a can do attitude, very responsive on email or happy to help in person at concierge.

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

Only thing to mention here is sometimes the 220 bus can take longer to come because of all the roadworks in white city but nothing to say for the development itself, and it's pretty quick to walk to willesden junction station anyway.
