Pomona Wharf is in a really convenient spot and is close to the city centre but a bit quieter. Cornbrook tram stop is just a short walk away, so getting around Manchester is easy. You’ve got plenty of bars, restaurants and shops nearby in Castlefield and Deansgate, plus nice canal walks. The area itself is generally calm with not much anti-social behaviour. Parking can be a bit tight at times, but manageable. Overall, it’s a good mix of peaceful living and city access.

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

Management have been responsive and easy to deal with. Any issues raised are usually picked up quickly and there’s clear communication throughout, so you’re not left chasing for updates. Repairs are handled in a reasonable timeframe and the team are approachable and helpful, which makes a big difference.

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

Parking can get busy at times, so it’s worth sorting a space early if you need one. Also, parcel lockers are really useful but can fill up quickly, so it’s good to keep an eye on deliveries. On the plus side, the area is quieter than you might expect for how close it is to the city, and the tram links make getting around really easy.

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

Pomona Wharf is a quiet and modern residential area with good access to Manchester city centre. The nearby Pomona Metrolink stop provides quick transport links into the city, MediaCity and Trafford. There are several supermarkets, restaurants, bars and gyms within a short distance, particularly in Castlefield, Cornbrook and MediaCity. The canal paths and nearby green spaces are great for walking and cycling. The area is generally peaceful, although traffic noise can sometimes be heard from nearby main roads, and parking can be limited in some areas. Bin collections are regular, and overall it feels like a safe and convenient place to live with good transport connections and local amenities.

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

The building management team have always responded quickly and professionally to any issues raised. Communication is clear and problems are usually addressed promptly. Andy and Alex are great and are always approachable and helpful when assistance is needed.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how convenient the location is for getting around Manchester. The nearby Metrolink stops make commuting into the city centre and MediaCity very easy, and the canal paths are great for walking or cycling. It’s also quieter than you might expect for somewhere so close to the city.

we are right next to the city centre/bullring which is wonderful and very easy when you need to grab something quickly. being next to a university means there are typically students around and it’s quite busy.

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

they have typically answered within 24 hours - via the app.

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

It’s very close to New Street Station, and right next to loads of buses. Loads of restaurants a short walk away. I’d say the only downside can be sirens at night, we are near a local hospital and sometimes police have sirens on.

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

As mentioned in main review Kultar, Annie, and Isabella have been really helpful in sorting any seemingly bigger issues I had over the years.

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

Again it’s probably just the noise locally sometimes - e.g. ambulance sirens from local hospital - it’s little and often but can be entirely blocked out by shutting my windows. Also I think this depends what block you’re in, my block faces the main road.

lovely area shame about the management of this building who only care about getting as much money out of residents as possible with minimum service.

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

very badly, they are required to squeeze as much money out of you as they can.

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

I wish I knew theyd be hiking the rent up by double figures on a regular basis until you are force to move out. and I wish i Knew they would hold on to my deposit for several months before release even though they have no claims against me and all bills and rent are paid up.
