We live right next to the mail box so restaurants and shops and right on your front door. We also have corner shops opposite the building which is easily accessible. New street station is about a 5/10 minute walk depending how fast you walk. Parking has now become available as the building expands

Living in this area offers several significant advantages. Residents enjoy excellent connectivity to the city centre, with convenient access that makes commuting straightforward. The train station is within walking distance, providing further ease of travel. Essential amenities are close at hand, including local grocery stores, nearby healthcare facilities, and a wide selection of quality restaurants, all of which contribute to a comfortable and convenient lifestyle. However, there is one area where improvement would be beneficial. The facility management team should place greater focus on maintaining the cleanliness of the bin and rubbish room as well as collection. Ensuring that this area is kept hygienic not only enhances the overall living environment but also reduces the potential risk of infection or contamination from unclean surfaces.

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

Really good, they should keep it up. Maybe a much larger reception area in their future development.

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

I’m not sure, nothing ring a bell 🔔. I have no problem with the current system of moving in.

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

Transport links are generally very convenient, with New Street Station and local bus stops just a few minutes’ walk away. Parking, however, can be limited and competitive. Within 10 minutes you can reach the Bull Ring shopping mall, offering a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and bars. My street itself is clean, with little traffic noise, and it feels safe. Overall, the area is practical, well-connected, and provides a good balance of convenience and comfort.

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

Building management has been responsive and professional, addressing issues quickly and keeping residents informed.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how to confirm that the Homebox office had correctly registered my information with the utility providers. I only realised there was an issue when I received a water bill and a council tax letter that did not have my name linked to my apartment.
