Hove Central, BN3

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

I worked at the County Hospital and so although Moda is close to Hove station and bus stops, my daily commute required changing buses twice and took around 45 minutes each way, which became quite tiring. The location is quiet and residential, away from the busier city centre, which is good for peace and privacy. Local amenities and the seafront are reasonably accessible. Finding a parking space for a visiting guest was extremely difficult, as there are very few parking spots available for both residents and visitors. At times, it felt as though Moda did not plan to accommodate residents who owned cars.

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

I would especially like to thank Mike and Shannon for making my time at Moda truly memorable. In particular, Mike was incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful throughout my stay, and his assistance made a real difference.

I wish I had known how limited and expensive the parking options would be before moving in. There are very few parking spaces available for residents, and securing a spot for a guest can be especially difficult. For anyone who owns a car or regularly has visitors, this is an important consideration, as parking can feel almost non-existent especially during weekends.

One of the things I particularly appreciate about living at MODA is how well positioned it is. I split my working week between home and an office around a 15-minute walk away, so the location suits my lifestyle incredibly well. I also travel to London regularly, and having Hove station just a few minutes away makes that considerably easier. There’s a Waitrose and Aldi within walking distance, along with Hove Park, which is lovely to have nearby when you want a change of scenery. It’s a great balance of convenience and a more relaxed pace of life, without feeling disconnected from everything.

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

Yep - always been very responsive. Altho the MODA app has had multiple issues in the time I’ve been here which has made it a bit of a pain to report / communicate issues. But other than than, all good.

The lack of security which means we sometimes have unwanted visitors walking into the shared spaces like balconies just to “check out the place”

Great location ; short walk from Hove St / George St, on bus routes to Brighton - parking can be a challenge. Bin collections are excellent & the communal spaces are always very clean. 24hr concierge means there is a genuine feeling of safety.

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

They have always been very helpful, patient and supportive - face to face as well as via email and out of office hours.

For me, Hove offers the perfect balance—the peace and quiet are ideal for family life or a more relaxed pace, while a quick bus ride lets you easily enjoy the rest of the town. Both Hove and Brighton are packed with an incredible selection of cafes and bars, whether you're grabbing a coffee on your commute or going out at night.
