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

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

Beautiful building with amazing amenities, well connected with Victoria Line close by. Downside is not many restaurants or bars around or near, yet that is exactly what I wanted (to avoid crowds). Would be great to have a grocery store near, but Lidl is 12 min walk away.

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

Very fast and diligent response, all issues raised were addressed and resolved

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

No restaurants or cafe near by, other than Coco. Yet the area is developing, this may change soon

Although the area is not very central, it is developing with new businesses, both recreational and shops. Already you can take care of a lot of things within walking distance, and the surrondings are relatively safe; soon it will be possible to live a full life in the area (Restaurant density could improve, as well as cultural spots). Neighbouring families and people are friendly in general. At the same time, it is super practical to get to Central and West London given the proximity of the underground and bus stops.

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

Usually promptly. Haven't had bad experiences personally.

I've been living at The Draper since January and it's been a great experience so far. The local area is well served: there's a good range of restaurants, cafés and shops within walking distance, and the nearby parks and green spaces are a real plus for getting outdoors. Transport is generally convenient, with the Northern line right there, though the line does have its problems: when there are disruptions on the Edgware branch, Colindale residents often end up having to get off further down and finish the journey by bus or taxi, which adds a fair bit to the commute. Day to day, living here is quiet and straightforward; I haven't had issues with traffic noise or anti-social behaviour, and bin collections are regular. The one recurring problem is the recycling area, which is often infested with flies because residents leave general rubbish in there rather than recyclables. Overall, The Draper is a great place to live, particularly given its proximity to the parks, restaurants, cafés and shops. There are some issues, but I'd put these down to teething problems in such a new development :)

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

The building management has almost always responded to any issues promptly.

Great area, local shops and amazing restaurants! Very safe. With 24-hour security, concierge services, parcel storage, high-speed Wi-Fi and a strong focus on creating a welcoming resident community

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

Very responsive! Quick to fix any issues. The staff are all great and respectful.

If I knew how great this development is I would have moved in earlier.
