We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Good location and very easy access to shopping, bus station, train station and parks The traffic noise is not that bad. The development do have a good neighbourhood but just need more cameras around and more signage for rowdy drivers This is especially needed for families.

Homes are built okay but as its a new build do expect some teething problems. The management is quite slow to attend to issues unfortunately. Design is nice but would be nice to have a back door to the rear of my home. No washing machine space in the kitchen, it's in a utility room. In built cheap fridge which keeps getting frozen is awful.

Management is slow even at replying to your message let alone jobs. Be prepared to wait at time upto 8 weeks. Some jobs are recorded a few time and so builders keep coming for the same job even though it may have been completed. Kitchen design is quite poor, washing machine in in tye utility room. Can be a pain

It would have been nice to have the management actually cleaning than just charging. Area wide electric charging port would be nice. Solar options on every house would have been highly preferable. Some more design option for flooring and others would have been nice too.

I love the design of all the different developments. They are still looking pretty contemporary and modern. Not sure about the newest phase yet - they look like they could do with balconies - but will wait and see how they turn out. Just wish there was more corner shops nearby
