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

The area has a good selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pubs and takeaways within a short distance, making everyday errands very convenient. There are several nearby parks and open green spaces for walking, exercise and recreation. Public transport is excellent, with regular bus services and convenient access to nearby train and tram links, making commuting straightforward. Road connections are also good, although traffic can be busier during peak times. The street is generally quiet and friendly, with on-street parking available. Bin collections are reliable and take place as scheduled. We have experienced very little anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is minimal for most of the day.

I love cornbrook, it’s walking distance from the city centre but also well connected with the tram stop over the road, makes a perfect location to live in.

Well I’ve not had many problems but when I have. A problem it’s dealt with in normally less then 24 hours wich is amazing.

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

Traffic on Mancunian way, joking the only downside to living in the city centre. But with all the positives far outweighs the traffic every now and again.

The entire property team always replies to my emails promptly and sends someone to assist me as soon as possible. Whenever I need help, they do their best to support me.

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

If I had to share something I wish I’d known before moving in, it’s just how supportive and responsive this entire team really is. Nothing could have fully prepared me for how quickly they reply to emails, how promptly they send help when needed, and how genuinely kind and responsible everyone is. The building is clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The facilities are great, the environment is comfortable, and the view is lovely. What really makes this place special, though, is that it truly feels like a home away from home. To anyone moving in new: you’re in excellent hands here. This is one of the best living experiences I’ve had, and I’m so grateful for my time here.

Botanica is a fantastic place to live - it’s so close to the tram stop, which is one stop away from loads of cafes/restaurants etc or you can walk 5 minutes up the canal to a lovely little boat cafe. The convenience of this apartment is 10/10, you’re in a quiet area with no disturbances but still close enough to everything that you don’t feel excluded.

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

The building management team are very kind and friendly! They came to fix something with the shower once and could see I had a soft water filter that i’d tried to install myself and they very kindly helped me do it properly despite it not being their job to do this.

I wish I knew how gorgeous the canal walk is across the road. This walk makes my working from home says fantastic. I also wish i knew how quiet the actual apartments are in terms of there is no partying or late night noise complaints! We used to live in greengate and every Thursday- Sunday was constant loud music from 11pm till early hours of the morning. We haven’t experienced anything like this at Botanica which has been amazing.
