Great location - would recommend

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

The good aspects - Its a great location for public transport, a 3-4 min walk to the station! The big tescos is also only 5 mins away as well as canal walks and some great shops. There is a gym 1 min walk away and i think the views from the 27 floor are incredible. I’ve often worked from the 1st floor which has been really handy. The people at the front desk have always been exceptional and so helpful and kind at all times of the day/night. Bad aspects - i wouldnt say bad but because of the proximity to the A12 the balcony becomes dusty quickly as well as when windows are open. The bin shoots are often out of order which i dont mind carrying the rubbish down but I have noticed others havent. Would be nice to have air-con as the weather heats up.

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

They have answered well - always have someone come look with the week

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

That there arent any coffee shops in walking distance - that would be nice

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

I really like the area. It’s nice and quiet, but still really convenient for everything you need. There’s an Asda and The Mast and Rigging pub within walking distance, which is handy. Dockside is also only a few minutes’ drive away, with plenty of restaurants, shops and gyms. Overall, I find it a great location as you get the peace and quiet but still have everything close by.

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

The building management team have been very responsive whenever I’ve raised any issues and have dealt with things quickly and professionally.

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

I don’t think there’s anything major I wish I’d known before moving in. Everything has been pretty much as expected from the viewing, which is a good thing! If I had to give a tip to a new neighbour, I’d say make the most of the rooftop terrace — it’s such a lovely, peaceful space and one of the best features of the development.

Great place to live

Jewel J (Tenant)

Riverstone Heights, E3

Sept 2026

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

The location is very convenient, with a tube station and Tesco both within close walking distance, making it easy to get around and access everything you need. One downside is that it can get quite noisy, especially with the windows open, due to the surrounding traffic and training.

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

The building management team has been friendly, approachable and responsive when issues have been raised. They are helpful in keeping residents informed and arranging maintenance when needed. Overall the team is supportive and easy to communicate with.

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

One thing to be aware of is that the area can get quite noisy, particularly with the windows open, so this is worth considering if you prefer a quieter environment. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience living here and would recommend it to new neighbours

Manager response

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

Lovely community and a huge park nearby, it’s a short walk next to the station and very convenient, and a friendly team

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

The maintenance has come to fix things but the shower head and hose had to be replaced, it’s been 1.5 weeks and still not replaced due to the previous tenant putting on a shower filter that broke the hose. So it means checkout checks from previous tenant was not done properly

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

That we can’t let people in through the intercom. But otherwise it’s a lovely home
