I was surprised with how warm my apartment was during the winter, and never even needed to turn on the heating. On the flip side though, during the summer heat waves, a fan is strongly recommended!

Living in Ten Degrees has been a mixed experience. On the positive side, there are plenty of local shops and supermarkets within walking distance, and a good mix of restaurants and cafes nearby. Open spaces such as local parks are well-maintained and great for walks or outdoor relaxation. Transport links are fairly convenient, with reliable bus, tram, and train connections, though peak-hour congestion can be a challenge. Living on 100A George Street is generally quiet and friendly, though parking can be a bit tricky, especially in the evenings. Bin collections are regular, but of late, bins are left out longer than they should be. There’s not much anti-social behaviour; however, traffic noise is noticeable during rush hour. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to live, especially for renters.

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

The building management has been fairly responsive, usually addressing issues like maintenance or communal area concerns within a reasonable timeframe. Communication could be more proactive, but overall they handle problems professionally.

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

I wish I had known how limited the parking availability would be; it’s often difficult to find a spot nearby. A tip for new neighbours: make sure to check how your waste and recycling bins are managed, as it varies depending on the day and isn't clearly marked at first.
