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

The fact that our building is right open with its central court yard accessible to anyone is a problem. We want to create a safe family environment but we sonetimes have rowdy youth come through and cause a nuisance. We are also quite far from the major high street and shopping areas of Walthamstow so cinemas and great restaurants are a trek away. We do have a nice local pizza restaurant not too far away though.

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

I wish I had known we do not have a recycle bin for the building. We are a very green family but were annoyed the site managers did not provide recycling sorting and packaging bins and just left general waste bins that go to landfill from our community. We had to pay to install recycling bins.

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

The area is very safe and welcoming for a Muslim family and our commute to work in central London is not too far with access to overground a decent distance away. We also have access not to far away from here to good Halal supermarkets and restaurants for our religious preference. But there are one or two theft crime issues we have heard about in the neighbourhood.

I wish I had known about the issue of cars driving through our courtyard but overall can not complain much about the flat itself given the cheaper rent we pay here.
