We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The communal area interior of our building is nothing special. It’s become quite run down in recent times (5 years old) with lots of cracks, damage and marks on the walls and doors. The lift and entrance doors break quite often but the response time from Hyde is dire. The park in our square is a hideous bright orange but it is lovely to hear and see kids / families enjoying the space. The development could be really great but it’s Hyde that lets it down with its poor response time and lack of coordination regarding issues raised by residents.

A relatively unsightly development (especially the play area) but it has a nice collective neighbourly atmosphere. Hyde Housing are absolutely shocking but our local building manager is making improvements. The area feels safe and friendly. The flats are well fitted and high spec.

The flat is very nice and modern. The facilities and the design are really good too. It feels very nice and spacious. It is just the design of the garden which is a bit weird as you can see the neighbours. An issue is I can hear the neighbours walking upstairs, what is a bit annoying. Luckily the same doesn't happen with the neighbours from next door, as the walls are very good. There is not much view from bottom floor but it is not bad. It is good to know parking is not included.

Lovely apartment. Bought as new and had no issues at all with the flat. There’s a few design things that are not to my liking but thats being very nitpicky of me. Not happy with the ongoing basketball construction. It’s being going on for a month and is a bit of a hassle really but it’s getting finished soon.

Very nice up to date and modern. Beautiful interior with recently furnished kitchens and bathrooms. I would say my apartment has enough space for my family. Overall I have no complaints whatsoever really
