Beautiful place to live with the BEST reception staff

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

The Castings is a great place to live. From the staff at reception as you come in, to the amenities and the living space. Everything is top quality and it is a great place to live. It is excellent to host friends in the Dining Space, great for working from home and also has a wonderful cinema room.

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

Very quick to respond and deal with any issues promptly. Great service.

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

Nothing really. If anything, I didnt realise how amazing the location was and how quiet it is in this area whilst also being close to the city. Only a 10 minute walk. I would recommend this place to anyone looking and feel grateful that I live here.

Castings MCR review

Billy Harkness (Tenant)

Apr 2026

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

Location of the local area is perfect. Far enough from town where you don’t hear any traffic / loud commotion but close enough where you can be anywhere within a 20 minute walk or if you’re feeling lazy it’s a 2 minute walk from the tram station. Only thing I’d add is a sports bar but that’s because I am a big footie fan apart from that it’s perfect.

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

Building management are so efficient and always promptly deal with any issues

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

Everything was covered there was no issues when moving in.

Manager response

Great location, thoughtful design, and outstanding management

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

The location is fantastic, quiet yet within easy walking distance of great restaurants, breweries, and local shops. It strikes a really nice balance between being peaceful at home while still having plenty of things to do nearby. Transport links are convenient and everything feels very accessible. The street itself feels safe and well-kept, with no major issues around noise or disruptions.

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

I haven’t raised any issues so far, which in itself speaks to how well things are run. For general questions and smaller requests, the team has been very responsive, approachable, and helpful. They are easy to reach and quick to assist, which gives a lot of confidence in the overall management.

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

I would recommend completing the referencing process as early as you can, as it helps move everything along more smoothly. Ask as many questions as you can during viewing. I would also recommend checking in pre-move-in cleaning to make sure everything is completed to your expectations.

Manager response

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so pleased to hear you’re enjoying the design, location, and overall experience at The Castings. It’s great to know the team has made such a positive impression, we’ll be sure to share your kind words with them.
