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

Living in my local area has its strengths and weaknesses. On the plus side, there’s a decent range of local shops, with a mix of independent stores and larger chain, though some could benefit from better variety of restaurants and coffee shops Transport links are fairly convenient, with regular bus services to city centre but services can be less reliable during peak times and weekends. Parking on my street is often a challenge, and building offers chargeable expensive parking

Great location - walking distance to the city center. The built in pub is a great addition and amenity for residents. Can get a bit noisy if you live in one of the units that face the Main Street. Parking availability is also very limited. Security needs regular review and potential improvement due to break ins in the past.

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

I didn’t expect that many break-ins in the apartment complex itself. Also, that it would take so long for some facilities to get repaired, such as lifts and gym equipment. Overall, decent place to live though due to the location.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature is the main bedroom in a corner unit, as it is very spacious.

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

Neighbourhood is generally nice, there is a corner shop directly across which is very accessible. There are a handful of restaurants on Oxford Road near the uni area, however the journey into city centre is quite easy if you are looking for more options. There are multiple bus stops on the main road, and the walk/ car journey is also fairly short.

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

I did not realise there is someone working at reception 24/7; this is quite helpful as I work night shifts occasionally, although I rarely require their help it is nice to know they are there if needed. It has also happened once or twice where people who weren’t residents tried entering the building at night time, but fortunately the reception staff were there to stop them.

What is the best feature of your home:

Lovely and welcoming entrance area, always clean and smells nice with good music playing too

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

Living on my street offers a fairly balanced mix of convenience and community. There’s a good range of local shops, independent cafes, and restaurants within walking distance, offering a variety of cuisines and price points. Bars are lively but not overwhelming, and open green spaces like the nearby park provide a welcome escape. Transport links are generally reliable with bus stops and a train station nearby, though peak-time overcrowding can be an issue. Parking can be tight, especially in the evenings, and while bin collections are usually punctual, occasional missed pickups do happen. Anti-social behaviour is rare, though weekend noise from passing traffic or late-night pedestrians can be noticeable. Overall, it’s a vibrant and fairly convenient place to live.

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

The window in my room cannot open which makes my room really hot during summer time

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is the large, south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day.
