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

Living in Hayes, especially at Gatefold Buildings, offers a great balance of convenience and lifestyle. There’s a good range of shops, restaurants, cafés, and supermarkets nearby, with high street brands and local options all within walking distance. Open spaces like Minet Country Park are close by, offering green relief. Transport links are excellent – Hayes & Harlington station (Elizabeth Line) is just a short walk away, making commuting into Central London quick and easy. The street is generally quiet, with regular bin collections and decent parking availability. It’s a safe, well-connected area with a growing community feel and very little anti-social behaviour.

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

In summer, the rooftop terrace occasionally attracts non-residents, especially on warmer weekends. It’s worth checking with management about access controls. Also, one of the two lifts may be under maintenance at times, so if you’re on a higher floor, be prepared for occasional delays.

Gatefold Building is located in a quiet area with close proximity to the railway station and bus stops. The High Street is also nearby, and ASDA is within walking distance, making daily errands very convenient. One of the best features of APO Gatefold is the rooftop terrace. It’s a fantastic spot for get-togethers or kitty parties, especially during the summer.
