Chiswick High Road is well served by many nice eateries, cafes and bars, a big Sainsbury's and a decent sized Waitrose. There are plenty of green spaces such as Turnham Green, Chiswick Back Common and Chiswick House and Gardens. There is no traffic on the development as it is set back from the road with private, controlled parking. Transport links are excellent with Gunnersbury tube/overground, Chiswick Park and Turnham Green tube stations all centrally located. The Piccadilly and District lines do run past the development, but this doesn't spoil it. Bin collections, gardening, litter picking are all regular and work well to keep the environment pleasant. There is a nicely designed bridge from the development to the nearby business park, this has a large play area around a pretty lake which is available for all to enjoy.

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

The apartment can get rather warm in summer due to its excellent heat retaining properties as it is very well insulated, has a lot of glass and is pretty much airtight with the windows and doors closed, the latter features obviously make it very cosy in winter however! There is no gas in the block and a communal system is used, this means 24 hour 'all you can use' heating and hot water paid for out of your service charge., i.e. there is no separate bill.

What is the best feature of your home:

The very generous proportions, the sense of light and airiness and the overall build quality of the block came as a pleasant surprise when purchasing the apartment from new. It feels solid and secure and is extremely easy to manage, with very little maintenance and no major issues since purchase.

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

Like: the interior space of the apartments is very generous. The nature reserve is lovely to look out onto. Travel links are excellent and close by. The buildings are a really great design outside. People generally know each other and are friendly and respectful. Dislike: tube noise.

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

Yes, some things have taken longer than others, but they are all dressed eventually. This is part of living in a manger block!

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

The apartments are very well insulated and cosy, there is no gas in the development and unlimited 24 hour hot water and heating is included in the service charge.

It is very easy to travel to different parts of London due to the transport links close by, even though the tube next door us horrifically loud

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

Yes, but they took weeks to respond and did not seem concerned. There have been several complaints and ive heard from a neighbour that they are trying to improve

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

I wish i had of known how awful the management are, practically non existent.

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

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

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

I would make the kitchen space bigger, its quite small but apart from that we love our flat
