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

The area is very convenient, with excellent transport links via the Victoria Line and just 30 minutes from Stansted Airport, making travel easy. While not everything is within walking distance, there is a good range of shops and amenities nearby. Sadly, most shops aren’t dog-friendly, but cafes, pubs, and other social spots generally are, which is great. There’s also a big dog community in the area, which is fantastic. The area can get busy during events at the Drumshed or games at the stadium nesrby, but overall, the location is very convenient for us and suits our lifestyle well.

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

The building management always responds to any issues or concerns quickly and efficiently. They’re approachable, helpful, and make sure things are sorted out without any hassle. It’s clear they care about keeping the building running smoothly and making sure residents are happy and supported

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

An insight we’d share is that the landlord opted to use Evinox for heating and hot water. Unfortunately, this has been the most problematic aspect for us. Their system has had downtime, which has resulted in additional costs for residents. Their rates are also quite high, and currently, there is no option to choose an alternative provider, which can be frustrating.

Exceptional place to rent!

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

Good points: Large retail park and grocery stores nearby Right next to Tottenham tube station and railway Bad aspects: Sorry but it’s Tottenham and some of the clientele around there are dodgy! But the actual development is so safe and there’s heavy security so you feel segregated from them. As far as rentals go this is absolute ace.

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

Acknowledged and fixed in a timely manner. No major problems.

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

None. The only new experience for us was the Evinox hot water where you have to top up the credit and the second the meter runs out of credit the hot water cuts off. Was so confusing for the first few days then figured it out.

Modern, Well-Maintained Development with Good Facilities

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

Living in this area has a nice balance of positives and a few drawbacks. There’s a good variety of local shops, cafés, and restaurants, with a mix of independent places and well-known chains. The nearby parks and green spaces are lovely and well-kept, perfect for walks or relaxing outdoors. Public transport links are convenient, with regular buses and a train station close by, although traffic can get quite busy during peak hours. My street is generally peaceful and tidy, with reliable bin collections and friendly neighbours, though there can occasionally be some noise or minor anti-social behaviour at weekends.

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

The building management has generally responded quickly and professionally to any issues raised. Maintenance requests are handled efficiently, and communication is usually clear and helpful. Overall, they are reliable and take residents’ concerns seriously.

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

I wish I had known how warm the apartments can get during the summer months due to the large windows and good insulation—it’s something to plan for with good ventilation or fans. Also, while the area is generally peaceful, it can get a bit lively on weekend evenings. On the positive side, I didn’t realise how friendly and helpful the neighbours would be, which has made settling in much easier. For new residents, I’d recommend joining the community group chat—it’s great for updates, recommendations, and staying connecte

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

Transport links are excellent — the tube station is only a 1-minute walk away, providing quick and easy access across London. Several bus routes also operate nearby. Within a short walk, you’ll find a Tesco and Amazon Fresh for everyday groceries. There’s also a gym very close by, making it convenient for fitness enthusiasts.

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

The building management responds very quickly to any issues raised. They handle problems efficiently and make sure everything is resolved without delay.
