Kangaroo Works, S1

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

The local area around Kangaroo Works is genuinely one of its strong points. There's a good mix of shops and cafes within easy walking distance — 200 Degrees is a particular favourite of mine for a coffee. There are also a few solid restaurant and bar options nearby for evenings out. Transport links are convenient, with a bus stop just a short walk from the building, making it easy to get around without needing a car. As for the street itself, it's generally quiet and well looked after. Parking is limited, which can be a bit of a hassle at times, but bin collections are reliable and on schedule, and I haven't experienced any real problems with anti-social behaviour or traffic noise.

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

Building management has been quick and reliable whenever I've raised an issue. Any problems I've reported have been dealt with promptly, and the team (especially Rosie and Casey on reception) are always easy to reach and genuinely helpful in following things through to resolution. It's reassuring knowing that if something does come up, it gets sorted without a lot of back and forth.

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

One thing I'd share with a new neighbour: there's a construction site nearby, but it's a non-issue once your windows are closed — you barely notice it. I already knew about it before moving in, so it wasn't a surprise, but it's worth mentioning for anyone doing a viewing who might not clock it. It really doesn't disrupt the peace and quiet inside the flat.

The location is more than great, everything I need is within 5-10 minutes away, and the train station is 15 minutes away. There are mutliple public parking spots around the area and tram connections 3 minutes away.

Kangaroo Works is in a very central part of the city center. There is a bus stop right opposite the building so it’s convenient to catch a bus anywhere, the train station is a 5-7 minute walk which is also convenient. There is a parking space also close to the building, a new large one is also being built. There is a Tesco downstairs also which makes grocery buying very quick and easy!

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

Intentional about fixing concerns and future proofing to ensure it does not happen again.

I wish I had known there were specific sections of the building for students so I could have a wifi configuration that fits tech settings.

Everything is so close by and within reach. There is tesco right below and moor market is a quick walk. So many coffee places nearby, also a nice florist very close by too.

Tbh we did face couple of issues when we moved like broken washing machine, etc but the team is super efficient they send a brand new washing machine within few days. So I am pretty happy with the building management especially Leryce, she has been so helpful from the beginning.

Just that I wish I knew that there are clubs nearby so expect a little too much liveliness over the weekends.
