Fizzy Poplar, E14

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

Living at Fizzy has heaps of perks! It’s perfect for young people who work locally! Good Aspects - Flats are newly renovated - Rent is reasonable given the newly built development and additional perks ie gym included, often ensuite/2 bathrooms - Quick and efficient maintenance repairs - Good communication from building managers Bad Aspects - Carpets/walls in common areas could do with some cleaning - VERY warm outside on the common areas - Antisocial behaviour in the surrounding streets. Often lots of yelling in the evenings, accumulation of young people smoking, drinking and attempting to snatch phones

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

Promptly and efficiently. Mohammed has always come and fixed things with a smile on his face

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

What the flat looked like as there were no accurate photos on the advert and the management team weren’t able to get current photos from the tenants until a week before we moved in

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

Good aspects: proximity to Canary Wharf (access to Jubilee and Elizabeth line) and to DLR station. Right next to a park with a decent bakery. Bad aspects: Very noisy in summer nights. people gather around drinking and yelling till late night. Noisy on some Saturdays as some car sales were testing their supercars. No decent restaurants of any kind nearby. The park is usually great but is always dirty and full of trash on Monday because people party there during weekend nights. Anti-social behaviours happened. A very dull neighbourhood overall.

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

Yes, although with delayed communication and defensive.

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

I wish I had known the area was noisy and had taken other reviewers' comments on anti-social behaviours seriously.

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

Great location. Close to Canary Wharf + chrisp street market. Park is amazing. Bin collection happens everyday which is great. Only problem with the location is people blocking the car park + we can’t move when there’s an emergency. People do gas + balloons at midnight/early morning. Maybe a camera to give ticket would help people blocking it.

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

Any issues we put on the resident portal gets solved within a day or two or even on the day at times. Recently we had Paul to who to fix an issue. He communicated and updated us and was very friendly and solved our problem very quickly.

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

Pet friendly and great parking. Issue again is the underground parking gets blocked all the time. And in the night there are people going gas and balloons.

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

Area very quiet. A lot of families and close to canal leaving vibe. 25 minutes everwhere- City, Stratford and stone throw from Canary wharf. Easy walking, running, cycling, biking, DLR.

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

Yes. When balvony door stuck, on line maintenance requested. Next day sorted!

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

Internet and Electricity connection / account set up for new tennant could be simpler.

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

We lived at Fizzy Poplar for over 5 years. It was great location and lovely flats. The only reason we moved was because we were priced out of the area.

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

Building management always responded to problems or issues and was always sorted very quickly.

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

That there was no concierge at Fizzy Poplar. It means you miss out on a lot of the community events they advertise in other buildings.
