Friendly on-site/concierge team who are always happy to help. Nice surprises like treats in the communal areas on Fridays/special occasions. On-site gym would be a great bonus.

It’s great to be so close to the station with amazing connectivity to central London and Gatwick. The area is being redeveloped. There are quite a few characters in the surrounding area. But it’s mainly vibrant and people are really friendly. The only big supermarket left in the town is Marks but there a great little market and butchers etc. there’s also great coffee from the Mr Tinto stand across the street.

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

Immediately, professionally and completely. They are really fair and always do their best.

Nothing that is within the buildings control. I was really well informed.

A coop right next door means you can get essentials within 2 minutes. East Croydon train station right across the road is (in my opinion) one of the best connected stations in the south of england, with ~20 minutes to London Victoria, London Bridge or Gatwick airport. Admittdely, Croydon has a reputation for being a little rough around the edges with regards to anti-social behaviour, whilst this can't be ignored entirely - it's not something to be overly concerned about and hasn't significantly impacted my living experience. Especially in the area immediately surrounding the building.

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

All routine maintanace problems I've had have been fixed the next working day. The one problem I had which was slightly more abnormal was handled to the best of any reasonable expectations and seems to have been fixed too.

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

That within a 30 minute walk south/southeast, you can be outside of London's urban sprawl and hiking through an open field, or woodland. I can't think of anywhere else where you can live in such a dense built up area, and yet escape so quickly to the countryside

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

Very close to East Croydon train station, right in the middle of the action... this is the place to be!

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

Any problems or issued I have raised have been addressed very quickly with the onsite maintenance.

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

Understand how the utility billing works and realize this is a communal billing system which may seem convenient at first but does has it's downsides with lack of choice and control.
