They have sorted out issues immediately with minimal disruption.

Grateful to call Riverstone Heights Home

Jinye B (Tenant)

Riverstone Heights, E3

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

Living in Riverstone Heights has been a great experience so far. The area offers a good range of local shops and supermarkets within walking distance, and there are several nice cafes and restaurants nearby, especially around the High Street. For green spaces, the nearby parks are well-kept and perfect for walks or relaxing on the weekends. Transport links are quite convenient—there are multiple bus routes and a nearby station that makes commuting into central London easy. Occasionally, there can be delays during peak hours, but overall the connections are reliable. Our street is generally quiet and residential, with a strong sense of community. Parking is limited, especially in the evenings, so having a permit or private space is important. Bin collections are regular and well-organized. We haven't experienced any anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is minimal considering the area. Overall, it’s a peaceful and well-connected place to live, with a good balance between urban convenience and community charm.

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

The building management has been incredibly responsive and helpful. Any issues we've raised have been addressed quickly and professionally, often within the same day. Their communication is clear, and they genuinely care about residents' comfort and satisfaction.

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

One thing I wish we had known before moving in is that there’s no on-site parking available, and street parking nearby can be quite difficult to find, especially in the evenings or on weekends. If you own a car, it’s something to seriously consider ahead of time. Also, while the building is generally quiet and well-maintained, there can be some occasional traffic noise from the nearby main road. That said, the flat itself is great, and the management team has been genuinely helpful whenever we've needed support.

Manager response

Dear Jinye, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re truly delighted to hear that your experience at Riverstone Heights has been such a positive one. Your kind words about Cristina, Kristina, Saad, Amro, Dianne, and the rest of our team mean a great deal. We take pride in offering a high standard of service, and it’s great to hear that this has made your move-in and settling process smooth and welcoming. Thank you also for highlighting the surrounding area and transport links. We appreciate your honesty about the parking challenges and occasional traffic noise—this kind of insight is incredibly valuable both to us and to prospective residents. We’re always exploring ways to improve the living experience, and your feedback helps guide those efforts. Lastly, we’re grateful for your recognition of our property management team’s responsiveness. It’s our top priority to ensure residents feel supported and heard, and we’re glad that’s been your experience. We’re thrilled to have you as part of the Riverstone Heights community and hope to continue meeting—and exceeding—your expectations. Warm regards, Darek

Modern, Secure Living with Excellent Amenities and City Access

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

Living in this area is very convenient, especially given its proximity to the City Centre. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and a Morrisons supermarket is located just across the street, which makes daily shopping hassle-free. The tram stop is less than a minute’s walk away, offering excellent transport links into town. Despite the area being generally busy with traffic, it’s surprisingly quiet in terms of noise. Parking on the property is based on availability, and the overall environment feels secure thanks to multiple layers of biometric access. Bin collections are regular, and there’s been no noticeable anti-social behaviour. Overall, it’s a comfortable and practical location to live in.

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

Building management has been responsive and professional. Property team was very helpful, reception are really nice and Ellie was very attentive and made sure everything went well. Had a problem with parking but it was fixed in a couple of days, which shows how efficiently issues are handled here.

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

The team mentioned everything I needed to know prior to moving.

Manager response

We're also glad we could resolve your parking issue quickly and to your satisfaction. Your feedback on the area and our building’s security, accessibility, and atmosphere is incredibly valuable for future residents considering making The Lansdowne their home.
