Jigsaw, W13

This development is ambitious, impressive and also takes into consideration the local community needs. My husband and I visited the area, showroom and even spoke with some locals about what they thought and in general we were left with an overall positive impression of the Green Man development. Apparently the previous local council buildings were ugly and falling apart – classic post war tower blocks – and the new proposals have almost doubled the amount of housing whilst providing affordable rent and housing for those who were there before. Also the school is being completely rebuilt which will increase the number of places for the local families. We were keen to move west and Ealing gets good press as an area to move to however we didn’t think too much of the main high street which needs a revamp and some tlc – maybe this will come with the completion of the development and whilst it offers everything you need we just were not impressed by it. Obviously the cross rail will make a huge impact and we are looking at purchasing now (it won’t be ready until next year) and hope we benefit from a price increase on our investment when this is completed.

It’s not good. This place is full of issues with maintenance and reparations.. a lot of things are not working and nobody is fixing anything. Maintenance is poor, there is not even a concierge and safety is bad.. We had a lot of problems with the lift since it was not working and I live at the last floor! I would NOT recommend it.

Me and my mum used to live in this area before they constructed the development and it is impressive to think about how much it changed! It improved so much and now the new buildings are brand new and beautiful. I know the area quite well and it is quite bad though… there is a lot of cri e around but honestly I gave never heard stories by my friends and neighbours and nothing never happened to me..

Really nice area. I like to shop, there are many supermarkets and a big Salisbury around the corner. The neighbors are calm and kind .. however barking is really annoying so eti es, since the are many dogs around the worst thing about living here is the location.. so many bad people around.. a lot of drug dealers coming at night. For the rest, this place is good for living

Nice flat and very good neighboorhood. I moved in the UK a few months ago and I know there are many old houses in London.. I was very lucky to find this flat , modern, well furnished in London! Location is good even if it is not very central.. I also spoke to my neighnours and they are all satisfied like me. The bad thing is that there are so many constructions happening g now.. and also, the area is safe but there are many homeless people and alcoholics..

Poor noise insulation between flats (can hear conversations, opening cabinet doors, blender, hoover, walking next to my bedroom wall, toddler running above, wall-mirror trembles when doors slammed next door); double-glazed windows don’t reduce external noise well (woken up by pigeons, aircraft, person speaking outside my window); not possible to use balcony nor keep windows open due to noise from street level (inconsiderate parents treating the street as playground allowing children to scream & shout, loud youngsters hanging out late at night shouting & swearing, kicking ball against the building wall causing noise inside flat)

I like living here! Ealing is where I was grown up, I love this area but now my flat is modern and new so it is much better. This area is very peaceful.. I just do not like the maintenance, it is poor and they do not keep communal areas clean sometimes

The place itself is very nice and pretty but the issue is that there are lots of building works going on around the development all the time which is loud and doesn’t look nice. There is also a Islamic centre being built but it can be very loud with the bells happening for prayers.

This place is good if you do not have a car.. it is so hard to find pzrking! Also, there is so much traffic. Also, the rent is quite expensive.. I would recommend this place fro a certain point of view but at the same time even the interiors and design could be MUCH better

The building is new so the design and interiors are great. My flat is big and well furnished. Transport is bad though..it’s only buses and the tube station is a little bit far. Supermarkets and shops make it a great location
