I wish I knew that they do not give out fobs anymore, it would’ve been nice to have but it does not drastically affect my experience living here.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is very convenient with a great mix of shops, restaurants, and cafes nearby. There are also good open spaces and everything feels well connected with reliable transport links. The street itself is generally quiet and well maintained. Parking can occasionally be a bit limited, but overall it’s a very comfortable and pleasant place to live.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team has been excellent. They respond quickly and are always helpful and proactive in resolving any issues. Matt, Cameron, and Andrea in particular have been very supportive and easy to reach whenever needed.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Honestly, not much to flag. If anything, just that parking can sometimes be a bit limited, but everything else has been very smooth and positive.
Manager response
Hi Omid, Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying your experience at The Draper and that the building, amenities, and overall management have made such a positive impression. It’s great to know that the modern design and day-to-day functionality of the development are working well for you, and that the efficient maintenance and communication have enhanced your experience. Creating a well-run and professionally managed environment is exactly what we aim for, so your feedback is truly appreciated. Your kind words about the team mean a lot—Matt, Andrea and I are very pleased to hear your recognition of our responsiveness and proactive approach. We’re proud to have a team that genuinely supports our residents. We’re also glad you’re enjoying the convenience of the local area, from the nearby shops and restaurants to the green spaces and strong transport links. We appreciate your feedback regarding parking and will continue to keep this in mind as we look at ways to improve the overall experience.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s nice and conveniently placed, though I wish the bus stop across was in service. However well placed from groceries, uni, and city centre and tram and train station.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, they were very helpful and quick to respond to needs
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just know the bus station is not in service. Otherwise, very good and as expected
Manager response
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad to hear you’ve had such a positive experience, and Augustina will be thrilled to know she made such an impact. It’s great that you’re enjoying the facilities — and we appreciate the suggestion about keeping the cultural mixer open later; we’ll make sure it’s passed on. We’re happy you find the location convenient, even with the bus stop currently out of service. And it’s wonderful to hear that the team has been quick and helpful whenever you’ve needed support. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts — it helps us keep making the community even better.
