Overall, it’s a really pleasant place to live and we’re genuinely happy here. The local area is convenient, with a good mix of everyday shops, plenty of restaurants and bars, and open spaces nearby when you want to get outside. Transport links are easy to access and getting around is straightforward (it can be busier at peak times, but that’s to be expected)The best part of living here, though, is the staff on the front desk. Everyone is helpful, welcoming, and always smiling — it genuinely makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The only real downside is that our apartment is quite dark because we’re on a lower floor, and the light across the street can be a little annoying at night, but that’s specific to our position and not something the development can really change. On the plus side, the fitted equipment is excellent: the fridge, stove/oven and washing machine are all high quality and work really well.

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

Building management has been great. We had a few issues when we first moved in and they responded quickly, kept us updated, and resolved everything smoothly. The team was friendly and helpful throughout.

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

We did not knew anything about the building, but viewing made a very good impression that is why we decided to move in.

On the doorstep of Ancoats, Northern Quater and the city centre. Lots of lovely bars, cafes and restaurants and convenient stores. Close walk to Victoria station if needed. Car park next to the building Unfortunately you still get the city centre crackheads and not rights that hang about but that’s to be expected with the area

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

The only insight I’d pass on is that unfortunately the electrics in the kitchen trip. I have lived here for years and it’s a problem when you have the heaters on and use any electrical appliance in the kitchen The staff have done all they can do, I’ve had new appliances and electricians out to check the wiring and there’s no resolution for it so I’ve learnt that if I want to use the kitchen, to flick off the heaters I’d also like a gate outside as unfortunately passers by do tend to wonder up the steps unprovoked, the team have said they are looking into it so potentially anyone looking to move in in the future, they will have a gate

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