The architectural design of the buildings is modern, visually appealing, and consistently well-maintained, contributing to an overall pleasant and comfortable living environment. The wider local area is equally convenient, offering a diverse selection of shops, restaurants, and bars within close walking distance.

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

I wish I had known how quickly certain facilities, like the gym or cinema room, can get booked during peak times. It’s not a problem, but it helps to plan ahead and make use of quieter periods. I’d recommend new neighbours explore the amenities at different times to find what works best for them.

The flats are very sound proof, I thought living in a large block would be quite loud but when in the flat it's very quiet.

Amazing location, with it being close to main transport links along with it only being a 15 minute walk into town. Amazing range of shops and activities around the area. Due to the amazing area makes getting Ubers so easy and quick. Regarding traffic noise can’t hear any external noise once in the building. Parking availability is limited but due to amazing transport links so close parking isn’t a worry.

Great location as you are a stones throw away from town but don’t have the noisy aspect. No negatives, it’s got everything you need.
