Its really close to the bus stand. There is a convenience store just 3 mins away and a sainsbury local and coop like 5 mins walk.. all the shops are nearby. We have to walk a little to get to the playground for the kids (15 mins) but wouldn't consider it too far. Good schools nearby. Only negative I would say is the ambulance station right next to it so the siren is disturbing sometimes if we keep the windows open. But its not too bad.

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

Yes our one of our window blinds' string keeps breaking. Such repairs are taken up every Friday and they tried to fix it a couple of times and finally replaced it.

So I would say the view from each apartment is different. Some have view of road with high traffic, red lights, cycle tracks etc which is soothing for me. Others have view of a calmer inside road and other apartments. So check the views from the one you plan to take and then finalise.

Vicinity to the city is great, no real antisocial behaviour in the area. You do have to walk by a not so nice street to get to the city but it’s not a big deal.

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

Quickly and professionally, we only had a small issue but it was dealt with properly

Whilst the building does not have any shops/restaurants/bars in the immediate vicinity, there is a local convenience store a 5-minute walk away and the building is situated a 15-minute walk to the city centre with the Leeds city bus station nearby. What’s originally grooming to the building? Was the fact that it has secure underground parking which is quite rare in the city centre the facilities of the building are great. It has its own gym and lounge/ social area and bookable meeting rooms. The building is situated near the ambulance station so you can regularly hear ambulance sirens which can be loud, particularly if you’ve got the window open However, when the windows are shut, they really block the noise out.

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

Yes, upon moving in I noticed some very minor snagging issues. I noted them on the portal and they were fixed appropriately and efficiently.

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

Given that the building is new, applying for things like council tax and electricity/water accounts is a little tricky given they use different postcodes. for example I use one postcode for council tax and another for utility bills, so it’s just something to be mindful of. Also the size of the apartments are much larger than other ones available in the area. They have large windows both in the bedrooms and in the kitchen so plenty of natural lights in the flat, along with a lovely view looking over the city.

The location is great for access to the city centre, shops, bars and restaurants. It would be ideal if guest parking was available.

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

We haven’t had any issues or problems in our first month here.

I wish we would have known the best available parking for our visiting guests.

Living on this street is a great experience. There’s a good mix of local shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants all within a short walk, plus a few lovely parks nearby for relaxing or walking the dog. Transport is really convenient, with regular buses and nearby train and tube stations that make getting around easy. The street is quiet and friendly, with a strong sense of community. Parking is usually available, bin collections run smoothly, and there’s very little noise or anti-social behaviour. It’s a clean, safe, and welcoming place to live.

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

I’ve only had a brief interaction with them and they helped me with a fridge issue and seemed very helpful and friendly

Make sure you check transport roots to and from your place of work beforehand as it’s worth doing
