Amazing BTR with everything you need in the building and nearby area

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

Walthamstow is an amazing area, it's near the reservoirs, has a vibrant high street, and many hidden gems. The commute to central London is very convenient because of the Victoria line and the Overground, and overall it's quite pleasant living there.

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

Building management has been prompt to address any of the issues we've had. One time, when there was a heating issue in the area, they ensured that a technician came to the building the next day and had it fixed. George and the team also went above and beyond to help us with a personal request. We truly appreciate their support.

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

There's a cute area called Walthamstow Village Square you can visit to explore some of the area!

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

The good aspects are the tube station being extremely close by as well as the grocery stores. Slightly disadvantaged in terms of cafes and places to eat nearby

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

They have resolved matters in less than 24 hours even on weekends if urgent

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

More about the surrounding areas in terms of things to do

Manager response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Simran. We’re delighted to hear that you find Riverstone Heights well maintained and that you enjoy the regularly organised events and our common spaces. It’s especially rewarding to know that our management team’s responsiveness and commitment to resolving issues quickly — even on weekends — has made a positive impression. We also appreciate your balanced feedback about the surrounding area. While the excellent transport links and nearby grocery stores are definite advantages, we understand your wish for more cafés and dining options close by, as well as more information about things to do in the wider area. Your comments are valuable and help us understand how we can better support our residents. Thank you again for recommending us. We’re very pleased to have you as part of the Riverstone Heights community. Simona

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

I rated 4 stars because the building is right in front of the Victoria tube and the train to Liverpool street. So to get to work and to the city it’s quickly and it’s very convenient! However around the area there isn’t much to do.

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

Yes, always . No issue has not been attended to. Happy overall

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

I made sure I was aware of everything, nothing I didn’t qualify before moving in

Manager response

Thank you so much for sharing your review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback—it means a lot to us. Best regards, Iga & The Sessile Team

Lovely place to live!

Will (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Lansdowne, B16

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

Living in this area is very convenient and enjoyable. There’s a great range of local shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment nearby, with lots of good food options and places to socialise. It’s also only a short walk into the city centre, which offers even more to do and see, from shopping and dining to cultural attractions and nightlife. The canals are close by and the reservoir isn’t far either, which is nice for walks and some green space away from the city. Transport links are excellent, with a tram stop right outside near a large Morrisons, plenty of bus routes, and easy access to e-bikes and scooters, making it very easy to get around. I have my own parking space so parking isn’t an issue. The street can be a bit noisy at times due to traffic and the occasional siren, but that’s fairly typical for city living and not a major problem.

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

I haven’t needed to raise any problems, as the building is well maintained. Management communicate clearly and keep residents informed in advance about any scheduled maintenance or works.

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

I don’t think there’s anything I wish I’d known in advance, but I’d recommend making use of the shared social spaces and facilities early on, as they’re a great part of the building and help it feel like home quickly.

Manager response

Hi Will, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the design, facilities, and community atmosphere here—it means a lot to the whole team. It’s great to know the local area and transport links are working well for you too. We really appreciate your kind words about the staff and management, and we’re delighted that the social spaces have helped make the building feel like home. If you ever need anything at all, we’re always here to help.
