The viewing is described very well and shown around by the lovely team

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

Generally living in the Almere is really good. Its in the heart of Milton Keynes so there's loads of shops and restaurants a short walk away. I would say the parking can be a little frustrating, the council parking permit doesn't allow you to park right outside and the underground parking is very expensive.

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

Our curtain rail fell from the ceiling just before the weekend. It was a simple process to raise the issue to alert management. The maintenance team don't work weekends but they managed to resolve the issue on the following Monday.

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

Yes! Any maintenance issues are swiftly dealt with by the estates team!

The location is perfect. Walking distance to the train station, across the road from Sainsbury’s, and right around the corner from all the nightlife at the hub

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

Generally they’re very proactive about issues, often on top of them before we are even aware

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

Parking is honestly a bit of a nightmare. There aren’t enough dedicated spaces to go around.

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

The location is excellent. It has a large range of shops at your fingertips. The Sainsbury’s is particularly convenient as it is only a 2 minute walk away and has all of your essentials. The MK Centre is also very close and has all of your extras and conveniences like boots, specialty shops and general shopping.

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

They’ve been very responsive and kind! They’re always around to help whenever needed in a timely fashion.
