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

Living here has been a really nice experience. There’s loads of green space around which makes the area feel open and peaceful, and it’s lovely to have nature so close by. It’s just a short walk into town, so everything you need is easy to get to, but the area itself still feels calm and quiet. There are a few handy local shops nearby too, which makes popping out for essentials really convenient. Overall, it’s a great mix of being close to things while still feeling relaxed and a bit tucked away.

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

The building management has always responded really quickly and efficiently to any issues. Repairs and maintenance are handled without much delay, and communication has been clear and helpful every time. It's been very reassuring.

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

One lovely surprise after moving in was how many activities and events are organised for residents. It really adds a sense of community and makes it easier to meet neighbours, especially if you're new to the area. I wish I’d known just how active and welcoming the community is—it’s a great bonus that doesn’t always come across during a viewing! Definitely something I'd highlight to anyone thinking of moving in.

I love the area so much! It is very artistic, there is a wide range of bars and restaurants and it is only a short walk to the town centre. The bus stop is directly outside the apartments, I cannot hear much traffic on my side but there are a lot of fireworks that happen regularly.

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

I have not had any issues yet, but I always see the maintenance team here and there and they are very helpful.

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

I love the apartment and I am looking forward to moving further up.

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

We live in a centralised flat in Digbeth, Birmingham, and absolutely love the short commute into the city centre and its buzzing nightlife. Being right outside a major bus route means transport is incredibly convenient, and we feel well-connected without needing a car. The area feels safe and homely, with a growing community vibe. Bins are collected regularly, and we’ve not experienced any major issues with noise or anti-social behaviour. Parking can be tricky at times, but that’s to be expected this close to town.

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

Management are always quick and prompt and thorough when taking care of our issues

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

They were so upfront about everything that they left nothing undisclosed!

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

In terms of local amenities, there's admittedly not a huge amount right on the doorstep. I understand the building is in an industrial area that's slowly being regenerated. While transport links are decent, not having a go-to Tesco or any other convenience shop within a five-minute walk can be a bit frustrating. On the upside, I absolutely adore our close proximity to Wormwood Scrubs Park. We love taking our dog there every chance we get. The neighbourhood also feels incredibly safe, which really puts my mind at ease – especially at night.

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

We never had any significant issues thus far; however, they have been quite helpful with any query we've had over the past year.

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

One thing I wish I knew of beforehand is the close proximity to the tracks, which can be quite annoying at times due to the sound pollution. On the other hand, I also did not know that we'd be so close to such a big park! Which is a big plus for dog owners.

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

Perfect city centre location. Very close to train stations, bars and restaurants. Perfect for walking the dog near to the waterfront.

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

Very good. All issues that we have raised have been dealt with in a timely manner.

I wish the apartment advert would’ve came with measurements.
