Mustard Wharf at Tower Works, LS1

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

The location is honestly one of the best things about living here. You’re right by the city centre, Leeds station and Granary Wharf, so everything is within walking distance. There are loads of restaurants, bars, cafés and shops nearby, and the transport links are great. I’ve only just moved in, but so far the area feels safe, clean and well looked after. I haven’t experienced any issues with noise or anti-social behaviour, and it’s nice being close to the canal and green spaces while still being in the middle of everything.

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

I’ve only recently moved in, so I haven’t had any major issues to raise yet. I did note a few minor items on my inventory that are still waiting to be resolved, but it’s very early days and I’m confident they’ll be dealt with. So far, whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance, the management team have been friendly, approachable and quick to respond. Everyone I’ve spoken to has been helpful and made the move-in process much smoother.

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

One thing I’d recommend is taking some time to explore the area when you first move in. Being so close to the station, city centre, restaurants and cafés is even more convenient than it looks on a map. As someone about to start a PhD, I wanted somewhere that felt safe, practical and comfortable, and so far it’s ticked all those boxes. It already feels like somewhere I can properly settle into rather than just somewhere I’m renting.

Incredibly convenient for the train station and town - love being about 7 minutes from the train platform and 10-15 minutes to most places in the city centre. Nice pub options within a super short walk and the bars and restaurants at Granary Wharf are literally on the doorstep. It's also lovely being right on the canal towpath for walks. We use the Pilates studio in our building loads as well. Downsides: not very close to grocery shops (though there are lots of delivery options), and on the south facing side the traffic noise is pretty bad, mostly due to a few idiots who love to rev their engines up and down Water Lane/Globe Road.

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

Very few problems: minor maintenance issues that were dealt with within a few hours.

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

If you're bothered by traffic noise, go for a flat that faces away from Water Lane/Globe road. Apparently courtyard facing or canal facing are much better on this score.

Whenever I’ve asked for any information, Kourtney and Jac have gone above and beyond to provide it! They both informed me of the new restaurant opening on site it’s great to have a resident discount provided!

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

Absolutely perfect! I’ve had one issue with my washing machine, but I was provided with an alternative washing machine during the interim period and my issue was resolved before I needed to use it!

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

I wish I knew how pleasant the staff were and how great the community is. There are a number of events that take place, and staff are very receptive to any suggestions for community projects, I can’t rate this development enough!
