Howard Court, HP11

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

Living here has been an absolutely fantastic experience, with virtually no downsides. The range and quality of local amenities are outstanding. Being so close to the Eden shopping centre means I have access to a huge variety of high-quality shops, restaurants, and entertainment right on my doorstep. The area feels vibrant yet safe. Transport links are a major highlight. The main train station is only a 10-minute walk away, which makes commuting or travelling incredibly easy and convenient. I have never experienced any issues with transport availability. Life in the apartment building is wonderful. The management team is exceptionally friendly and enthusiastic, always ready to help with a smile. The building is quiet, I've never had any issues with anti-social behaviour, and bin collections are always on time. It’s a very well-run and pleasant place to live.

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

The management team is incredibly responsive. Any issues I have raised have been dealt with swiftly, professionally, and always with a friendly attitude.

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

A friend had mentioned how safe the building was before I moved in, but I wish I had truly understood the full extent of what that meant. It's not just about secure doors; it's the complete peace of mind you have living here. This comes from the proactive management, the well-lit and clean common areas, and a general feeling of respect among the residents. It's a tangible sense of security that you can't fully grasp from a viewing, and it has made my experience here even better than I had hoped.

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

Living in this area is highly satisfying, with far more pros than minor cons. Its prime location is a standout—close to the city center, adjacent to the largest Eden Mall, and just a 10-minute walk to the train station. Local amenities excel: Eden Mall offers diverse, good-quality shops, while nearby restaurants/bars cover various cuisines. Small community parks provide nice open spaces. Transport is convenient too, with frequent buses and no major issues.
