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

It is a bit of a mixed bag really, public transport wise it is near a lot of major routes across Exeter and the wider region and it is a short walk from the city centre, There is a Waitrose across the road and Magdalen Rd a road of restaurants and shops is close by. There is an abandoned building next door which can be a magnet for trouble and the main road is quite close an choked with traffic a significant amount of the time.

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

Maintenance issues have been dealt with swiftly, and other things such as noise issues in my experience have also been dealt with, although I have heard from others with more serious issues that there can be problems if you don't have more than one tenant complaining.

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

The lack of temperature control in the shared spaces and that the shared laundry is quite small for the amount of tenants in the building

Living at The Gorge was a pleasant experience overall. The local area is very convenient — it’s just a short walk to Waitrose and the city centre, which makes shopping and getting around really easy. It's also ideally located for students, being very close to St Luke’s Campus, and there’s a nearby bus stop with direct links to the main university campus. The neighbourhood is quiet and well-maintained, and I always felt safe.

The building management was responsive and helpful, always addressing any issues quickly.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the laundry room and the cinema can be a little tricky to find at first. A quick walkthrough or clearer signage would’ve been helpful.
