Great experience for a first time tenant

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

This is a prime location for anyone who works in the city. There are plenty of shopping locations as well as restaurants and bars in the surrounding area. There are travel links near-by which makes getting around the city/ in and out of the city very easy. Me and my partner also work very close by which allows for a very convenient work/social life balance.

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

Certain free to use facilities we were told about are not currently in use (such as the ice machine). We believe this is due to a small portion of the property currently being occupied but it was a slight disappointment to see it out of use during the summer.

Riverstone Heights is surrounded with many facilities such as convenience stores like tesco , simply fresh, etc. The apartment is near a gym in walking distance.

They have done a great job in responding to my concerns whenever it’s being raised. I am happy that the management team treat every situation fairly and efficiently.

Modern Living with Great Amenities and Responsive Management

Ebuka Chidume (Tenant)

Riverstone Heights, E3

Apr 2025

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

Living in my local area has its share of advantages and disadvantages that shape the overall experience. On the positive side, the range and quality of local shops is impressive. There are several independent boutiques and well-known brands, ensuring that residents have access to a variety of goods. Restaurants and cafes offer diverse cuisines, catering to different tastes and budgets. The vibrant dining scene is complemented by a few popular bars, making it easy to enjoy a night out without traveling far. Open spaces are abundant, with parks and green areas providing a welcome escape for relaxation, exercise, or social gatherings. Transport links are generally convenient, with several bus routes and a nearby train station that connect the area to the city center and surrounding neighborhoods. However, during peak hours, services can become overcrowded, and delays are not uncommon, which can be frustrating for commuters. Overall, while there are some challenges, the community vibe, amenities, and accessibility make living in this area an enjoyable experience.

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

The building management has acknowledged my bin issue and assured me they are working on a resolution, but I am still waiting for it to be fixed. Communication has been prompt, but the delay in addressing the problem has been frustrating.

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

I would recommend checking the availability of parking, as it can be a challenge during busy periods. It’s helpful to familiarize yourself with the local amenities and their hours, as some shops and restaurants may have limited hours that aren’t immediately apparent. Lastly, getting to know your neighbors can be invaluable—they can provide insights on the best local spots and tips for navigating any potential issues in the building.

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

Is very close to Canary Wharf where you can find all that you need, restaurants, supermarkets, nice parks and gym/workout facilities

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

Always respond to all issues, sometimes the lift gets broken but they are always there to get it quickly repaired

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

The heating isn’t the best during the winter, the place takes a long time to warm up. Also the gym facilities open quite late.
