Box Makers Yard, BS2

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

Location/travel - Amazing for commuting to Bristol city centre. Quick walk to the train station, local cafes and very convenient having a Sainsbury’s in the building. However very long waiting list for a parking space and expensive so would recommend not having a car as public transport is so easy. Not much green space in the local area but would recommend a quick walk to castle park, a train to Bath or a bus to the Clifton downs for some fresh air! Noise - On the top floor we didn’t experience any traffic/construction noise at all and loved how quiet the flat was for wfh and couldn’t hear our neighbours at all. Quite a few homeless people on the streets outside the building but didn’t have any bad experiences with them personally. Views - Really really recommend the top floor flats facing North/East as the views were such a highlight for us (see pictures!)

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

Since the location is very business centric it might be a good place for office people. There is a nice waterfront, easy access to train and not so far from the city center and public transportation. It tends to be a bit loudy due to the passing trains through the day. There are nice cafes nearby, bit pricey options. There is a Sainsbury’s local market just under the building, convenient for simple daily item shopping.

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

They responded diligently and fast. Management works really good so far.

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

It is not really a problem but train station makes it a bit louder than expected. Overall, it is a decent development with nice and clean perks.

Very central. Really close to Temple Meads Station which is great. There are a great variety of pubs nearby.

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

We have had few problems at this early stages, but any problem has been sorted quickly.

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

The emails about how to pay bills could have come a little earlier.

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

Great location for connection. Sainsburys is very convenient and only a 10 minute walk to the city centre. Due to be a central location there can be some anti-social behaviour nearby due to homelessness issues in Bristol. Parking is also a challenge at peak times, though if you are willing to pay the Gardener Haskins car park is close.

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

Portal used for maintenance is handy and easy to use. Dealt with in appropriate time scales.

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

The flats can be very warm in summer so fans are an essential.
