Leodis Square, LS11

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

I don’t have much to complain about. the location isn’t too far from the City Center, but not too close that it’s really busy/noisy. I like it here! But it is worth mentioning that a lot of the neighbors smoke and vape in common areas, and have many times discarded their cigarette ends onto our balcony area. As we have dog, it’s very frustrating seeing her eating the end of a cigarette and at times glass and acrylic nails. They just throw or sweep away anything at this point. So far I just know of the “warning” emails, but these events happen everyday unfailingly, and at times I’m woken up by the noise of another apartments fire alarm, because the occupant(s) wanted to have a smoke at 6:30am in the morning.

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

They’re pretty good at responding to problems or issues, just isn’t always as quick as you’d hoped, and at times you have to send follow-up emails, and additionally have to go to the reception before they can be sorted. BUT, they do get sorted!

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

That I couldn’t lock my room door, and the mould infestation during fall to spring .

Perfect location - City centre is a 15 mins walk and train station is 10 mins on foot. Tesco express is 5 mins away and so are the shops and restaurants given its proximity to the city centre. Can’t comment on car parking as I don’t have a car but Leodis Square provides paid basement parking. Our apartment doesn’t face the streets directly so no noise of vehicles as well. Multiple bus stops nearby so accessibility to public transport is good.

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

Yes, promptly We had raised issue with the dishwasher and washing machine which they fixed in a timely manner

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

I knew this but may be skipped when finalising the house. The only con I feel here is the small fridge size. Living room also has the carpet which can be a pro or a con depending on the perspective

Around 15 minutes walk from Leeds train station and 20 minutes from the city centre with its shops, bars and restaurants.

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

Last month had an issue with a leaking washing machine & Gabi from the team had it fixed on the day I flagged it. She then went out her way to follow up with arranging a carpet clean to sort out the aftermath, super helpful and friendly!

Nothing I can think of, very easy to find your way around.

10 mins walk from Leeds train station, 15 mins to the city centre, post office nearby and Tesco at just 2 mins walk. Location is 9/10! My only problem was a lack of parking but thats to be expected being so close to the city.

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

They employ their own maintenance team, so the response time is fast!

Their service was alot better than my previous landlords

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

Local shops and amenities are within a 5 minute walking distance with Tesco express, or 10 minutes at Crown Point with Retail Outlet. Leeds city centre is also an extremely short walk away. The Communtiy within the building is great. There are regular social events to meet neighbours and the staff are very helpful.

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

All problems I have raised have been expeditiously and adequately resolved. Great team.

There is a waiting list for parking. This may have already been explained at the time of moving in, however.
