Love Aldgate. Seriously disappointed with the apartments. There is graffiti, the bathrooms have a musty smell, and the cooling system doesn’t work.

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

The management is unresponsive and the utilities don’t work. The bathrooms smell.

What is the best feature of your home:

It’s quiet, and central. The appliances are high quality.

Moved in 2021. Disappointed right from the start. The area is plagued with undesirables - security is terrible - security guys occasionally walking around in suits doing nothing to deter cyclists, rollerbladers, ball games, gangs of youths et all. Local Sainsbury's but no M&S or Little Waitrose - tells you something? I regret buying into the development - flats are currently on the market for months with very few if any sales or even viewings - tomorrow's slum. The location is good for the city. Local Sainsbury's but nothing higher. Street can be noisy with youths and families are drawn to the location because of the water feature which is a nuisance.

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

Problems net even acknowledge by the management company.

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

Too much social housing in the development drags it down. Balconies littered with washing lines, suitcases, and all sorts of rubbish. Peabody local social housing is always a bad sign.

Nice little cafes and quiet at the weekends, the Curzin cinema is close by but currently closed due to Covid.

The lagoon outside is peaceful and very nice to have

Its usually quite noisy here with there being a big central area available to the public, we have loads if kids always playing around which i have no problem with but it is pretty loud is all as i live on a lower floor. i love my flat, it has a nice little balcony, its quite spacious for what i need and the design is modern.
