The design of the apartments is modern and stylish, with spacious layouts and high-quality finishes. The common areas, such as the lobby and hallways, are well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing. Facilities include a well-equipped gym, a relaxing rooftop terrace, and a communal lounge, all of which enhance the living experience. The building management team is generally responsive and helpful. They ensure that the property is kept clean and handle maintenance requests promptly. Regular updates on building operations and events are provided, fostering a sense of community among residents.

Overall, the development is of good quality and design

Harry R (Tenant)

Jul 2024

Overall, the development is of good quality and design. However, as time went on the interest of the resident assistance team waned and generally became poor. A key aspect of this was a failure to enforce the booking system I.e. facilities being booked by myself, only to find another resident using it, and the resident assistance team seemingly not being bothered.

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

Real mix of stuff- inconsistent across all factors. Some good and some bad, but quality faded over time

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

Generally well in terms of maintenance, although resident services often made it feel like it was a chore

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

I wish I had know the originally greta service provided was going to fade away over time

The gym facilities at 801 Solstice are top-notch. Equipped with the latest fitness technology, it's perfect for both beginners and seasoned gym-goers. It's been fantastic to have such great facilities on-site, allowing me to keep up with my fitness routine without the need for a separate gym membership. Additionally, the general facilities like the lounge area, the pool, and the communal spaces are well-kept and provide a great atmosphere for relaxation and socializing with other residents.

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

From the moment I arrived, the comfort and convenience of this place were apparent. The location is unbeatable, ideally situated for easy access to local amenities and transport links, making my daily commute and leisure activities a breeze. The apartment itself is a haven of comfort. The rooms are spacious with a modern, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. Each feature is designed with resident comfort in mind, from the plush furniture to the well-maintained, peaceful environment.

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

Above all, the staff at 801 Solstice Apartments deserves special mention. They are simply perfect—always friendly, helpful, and professional. Whether it’s dealing with maintenance requests quickly or just greeting residents with a smile, the staff goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome and taken care of.

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

I absolutely love this place and only wish I had made the move here earlier.

Good place to live with a few downsides

Tenant24 (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Apr 2024

I have been living in the development for almost two years now. It's a good place to live, quiet and clean. Facilities are good, including a small gym and shared terraces. Staff are lovely and maintenance service excellent. Downsides: No free parking available in the area, very poor phone signal in the building.

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

Location is well served and in the proximity of the CMK shopping centre. Campbell Park is also very close. Parking available but no free spaces.

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

Quick response, particularly in relation to repairs and maintenance issues.

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

The secondary schools in the catchment area are not great.

Beautiful and spacious, well designed layout and nicely decorated.

Katie (Tenant)

I will start with the few downsides which is no phone signal in the building and some aspects are visibly poorly built (issues with kick boards in kitchen becoming loose and a wall mounted shower instead of a rainfall shower). But the staff are lovely and the flat spacious. The amenities are really good - the gym and the lounge, the lobby is well designed and always smells nice. I like how it is decorated for each season or event. I do think the hallways could look a little nicer, maybe a bit brighter paint.

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

Lots to do in the area and the building is right by the centre but away from the hustle and bustle. In 2 minutes you can get into the shopping centre, in 5 to the theatre, bars, mini golf and a night club and 10 to bowling, cinema, arcades, restaurants.

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

Yes, I contacted them about a lock and another issue I had when I moved in and they responded quickly and solved the issues.

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

I would have liked to have known about how much of an issue the phone signal problem was.
