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

Living on my street offers a fairly balanced experience. There’s a decent range of local shops and independent cafes nearby, as well as a few well-rated restaurants and friendly pubs. Open green spaces are within walking distance, offering a peaceful escape and places to exercise or relax. Public transport is generally reliable, with bus stops and train stations conveniently located, although peak hours can get crowded and delays do happen occasionally. Parking can be tricky, especially in the evenings, as spaces fill up quickly. Bin collections are regular, though sometimes bins are left out longer than they should be. The area is mostly quiet, though there can be occasional traffic noise during rush hour. Anti-social behaviour is rare, but like any urban area, it’s not entirely absent. Overall, it’s a pleasant, practical place to live with good amenities and access to transport.

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

The building management has been generally responsive, especially when it comes to urgent issues like heating or plumbing. They usually act quickly in those cases, which is appreciated. However, for less urgent matters—like cosmetic repairs or maintenance in communal areas—the response can be slow, and sometimes follow-up is needed to get updates. Communication is polite but could be more proactive and transparent. Overall, they do address problems, but there’s definitely room for improvement in terms of speed and consistency.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how limited the parking availability can be, especially in the evenings—it fills up quickly, and finding a spot nearby can be stressful. Also, while the area seems quiet during viewings, weekend nights can bring some noise from nearby streets or passing traffic. A helpful tip for new neighbours: get familiar with the bin collection schedule early on, as missing it can lead to overflowing bins or confusion about where to place them. Small details, but they make a big difference day-to-day.

At moda we have everything on out door step. Town is a 2 minute walk away. All open spaces are clean and tidy the courtyard is stunning. The staff are amazing, but I have to give credit to James and Darren. They've both gone above and beyond to make me feel like part of the Angel Gardens family and are truly an asset to Moda Living. Their dedication and support have made a significant difference in my experience here.

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

The building management, especially James and Darren, have been incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we've raised any problems or issues. They didn't just address the issues, but went above and beyond to ensure we settled in comfortably. Their dedication and support have made a significant difference in our experience here.

Living in my local area has both positives and negatives. On the plus side, there’s a decent range of local shops, cafes, and restaurants, with a mix of independent and chain options. Several green spaces nearby make it easy to enjoy nature or go for a walk, especially on weekends. Public transport is fairly reliable, with regular buses and train services that connect well to the city centre. However, services can be delayed during peak times or in bad weather. On the downside, parking on my street is quite limited, especially in the evenings, and bin collections can be inconsistent. There’s occasional traffic noise and some issues with anti-social behaviour on weekends, particularly from nearby bars. Still, it’s generally a safe and convenient area to live in.

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

Building management has been generally responsive to urgent issues, but slower to act on minor or non-urgent concerns. Communication is polite, though follow-ups are sometimes needed to ensure resolution.

I wish I had known how limited the on-street parking can be, especially in the evenings—it often fills up quickly. Also, while the building is mostly quiet, noise from nearby bars can be disruptive on weekends. A helpful tip: get familiar with the bin collection schedule early on, as it’s not clearly communicated and can be inconsistent. For new neighbours, joining the residents’ WhatsApp group has been really useful for updates and building-related advice.

This is a great part of Leeds. It’s close to the bus station, John Lewis and The Calls. There are also many restaurants and shops closeby.

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

They responded very quickly. Nothing was too much to ask. They also helped me get a copy of my move in report within 1 day of asking.

The vicinity to John Lewis is a massive plus. The property management team have also been very helpful and are very responsive which is quite unusual for a big developer!
