From flowers being delivered on moving in day to the design of the property I love everything about being a resident here. I absolutely love my home, it’s walking distance to work but close to the motorway and train station if needed. On the doorstep of the beautiful Derbyshire countryside but close to done great towns and cities. The on site manager is really helpful and always available if I need anything.

Citra Living is conveniently located near major shopping destinations including Tesco, Aldi, Home Bargains, and Poundland. Restaurants like McDonald's and coffee shops such as Costa are just a five-minute drive away. The area is serene and well-designed. For those without a car, bus stops with connections to the city center and major shops are within walking distance. Living here has been an absolutely wonderful experience.

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

The quality of the painting is poor. If any chair touches the wall, the paint pills off leaking major dents on the wall.

What is the best feature of your home:

The garden at the back of the house and the very spacious car park

Very happy to have moved to Clay Cross. Everything you need is here and more to come. I believe we have moved here at the right time as Clay Cross and surrounding areas will be highly sought after very soon. Lovely estate but until the developers have finished it is going to be hard to judge their work.

Wish we had know that Citra was a brand new company and that we would be kind of Guinea Pigs for the whole shared ownership screams for them.

What is the best feature of your home:

The master bedroom and the under eaves storage. This was a wow factor from first visit and still is now we are living here.

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

Easy access to local shops, bus routes, public parks and schools. Minimal traffic noise. Some noise from nearby industrial units but again this is minimal. Overall it’s a quiet neighbourhood with only occasional antisocial behaviour.

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

Ensure the garden is ready before moving in and report this issue immediately.

What is the best feature of your home:

Design, decoration, quality of build and woodland to the rear.

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

There is a vast quantity of local shops available, with a range of lovely independent coffee shops, as well as major retail brands close by such as Tesco, Home Bargains, Costa Coffee and McDonald’s. There are also a range of local pubs. Close enough to local parks for children. Parking is great due to double driveway, however, the street is quite noisy, especially late at night, for example noisy cars and a lot of traffic coming in and off the estate.

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

The garden for us has been the main overlooked design issue. However, we love our home and the area is good for us as a family.

What is the best feature of your home:

Outside overall appearance of the house. The style of the modern kitchen.
