One feature that has exceeded my expectations is the outstanding co-working space and vibrant lobby area. As someone who works from home, these spaces have become my sanctuary. The co-working space offers modern amenities and comfortable seating, enabling me to focus and be productive. Whether I need solitude for concentration or a collaborative setting, it caters to all my work needs.

The staff’s efficiency in addressing any concerns I’ve encountered has been exceptional. They swiftly resolve issues, maintaining a well-ordered and comforting living space. Their attentiveness and commitment to my satisfaction are truly reassuring.

In summary, words cannot fully capture my immense satisfaction with No. 26. It has become my beloved home, where exceptional staff service, a delightful environment, and the availability of co-working and communal spaces converge. I wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation if you seek a comfortable and enjoyable living experience.

Great location: close to shopping centre, Boxpark, and East Croydon station. Overall, convenient and vibrant.

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

To be honest, there isn’t much I wish I had known beforehand since I was already familiar with the area. However, if there’s one thing worth mentioning, it’s that there might be a few individuals hanging around the shop on the corner at night. They’re mostly harmless, but being aware of their presence is good. It’s something you might encounter in any neighbourhood, as they say, every area has its ups and downs. Overall, I believe it’s important to approach any community with an open mind and embrace its uniqueness.

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

What is the best feature of your home:

The best thing about my home is the incredible views from my balcony. I’m truly fortunate to have a front-row seat to the stunning sights of London. From Canary Wharf to the iconic London Bridge, the cityscape unfolds before my eyes, offering a constant source of awe and inspiration. My balcony has become my personal sanctuary, where I can relax and appreciate the beauty of London from the comfort of my own home.

There is also a lounge area which is a lot quieter and perfect to break up your working day. They also have communal toilets which is highly convenient if you live on a higher floor and can’t be bothered to get the lift to your apartment.

We have used the private dining room once, and for a small fee, me and my partner hosted a dinner for my family in an exquisite setting.

If you’re thinking about living here, then I can assure you that this is the best development in Leeds. I lived in Moda before, which was a really high spec place with a big investment in facilities. However, the concierge service was terrible (1/10), and given the unlimited cap on students I always felt like I was living in halls. Definitely not worth the extra £200 a month I was paying.

Here in the Junction, I’m mostly surrounded by professionals which creates a more balanced environment. I highly recommend moving here.

The Junction is situated along the historic viaduct which overlooks the River Aire. It is safe to say that I now live in the nicest part of Leeds. Wellington Place which is a business district targeting city professionals, with trendy bars, modern architecture, London-esque offices and a stunning water feature, greets every resident walking to and from The Junction.

I was initially apprehensive about the walk from the development to the city centre, but the station is literally 5-10 mins away and the route is really nice.

Ultimately, if you want a quieter, nicer environment, then this side of town is by far the best!

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

I was given a great induction and it was really thorough in covering all aspects of life in The Junction.

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

Management always get problems fixed ASAP. They are 100% on the ball and know how to deliver great customer/resident service.

Our balcony

The building management are irreplaceable. Matthew and Michelle have been incredible, and tended to our every need. The move in process was swift and efficient, and they even thought of the little details like asking if we would like our heating turned on before moving in.
There is a parcel collection point which is very convenient so don’t have to worry about being home to collect.

Matthew initially showed me around the development, and I was sold instantly. Incredibly knowledgeable and informative, whilst being approachable, professional, and funny. Always on hand to help, and even allowed us to do an Easter egg hunt for our little girl and have her an Easter egg.
Purchased some drinks for her too as an exception for the communal pizza party.
It’s always a pleasure to talk to the staff as opposed to feeling obliged to.

Any issues are dealt with swiftly, and we have the freedom to decorate the apartment including painting, support to hang pictures, and maintenance issues.

We have a cat which is allowed at no extra charge which also set aside this development for us, as he is a part of our family and found added costs a deterrent at other BTR.

We have only been here a week so excited to see how this development expands over the coming months, but it feels like home already.

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

The property is a 10 minute walk into the city centre therefore bars, residents and shops are easily accessible. It is slightly difficult to find at present due to ongoing construction works, however the location couldn’t be better.
The windows are triple glazed therefore you can’t hear anything, including the trains at night.

The parking I would say is slightly more on the expensive side at £120 a month, however to say this is a city centre development it is to be expected, and the car park is very secure with ANPR recognition and a shutter for access.
There is a bin chute on each floor which is excellent as prevents you from having to go downstairs to get rid of rubbish.
The bin yard is huge so no issues with rubbish collection.

There are apparently going to be lots of shops and cafes underneath the viaduct which will be an amazing aspect when finished.
The construction does not interfere with quality of living currently, and it’ll be exciting when everything is complete.

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

The staff are incredible, especially our experiences with Matthew and Michelle. They feel more like friends than staff.

Ask as many questions you can think of, and they will support to the best of their ability.

We have opportunities to meet the neighbours during community events which makes it such a lovely place to live.

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

Always respond efficiently and swiftly, and feel confident that any issues will be resolved as soon as possible.

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

The local area is perfect for me; it’s far enough out of the center to avoid the chaos that comes with living in the city but it’s not so far that it’s hard work getting into town. Whilst there are some facilities still in the process of being built, it feels like there’s a community growing amongst the junction folk and one can’t help but feel like it’s going to be big. Really excited to watch and be a part of the growth of this development!

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

The inventory (a review of the state of the property before moving in to be cross referenced with when you leave) that you are asked to complete is quite detailed, I would highly recommend completing it before you move anything in to the flat.

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

Management have been prompt to deal with any issues and clearly care about the well-being of their tenants.

What is the best feature of your home:

The balcony!
