Modern, Comfortable, and Well-Managed City Living

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

Living in The Forum, Birmingham is very convenient and enjoyable. The location is excellent, with easy access to the city centre, Bullring, and Digbeth, offering a great range of shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Public transport links are reliable, with nearby bus stops and quick access to New Street and Moor Street stations. The area feels safe and lively, with good bin collections and well-maintained surroundings. It’s also close to Eastside City Park, providing a nice open space to relax. Overall, it’s a modern, comfortable, and well-connected place to live.

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

The building management has been very responsive and professional so far. Although I haven’t had any issues yet, they seem proactive and attentive to residents’ needs.

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

I wish I had known more about the storage and appliances before moving in. The storage space is a bit limited, even for one person, and there’s no microwave or TV provided, which would have been convenient. The oven is useful but not essential, and having two fridges feels unnecessary for a studio. However, the apartment itself is beautifully designed — the floor-to-ceiling window gives a lovely view and plenty of natural light, the room feels spacious and modern, and the washroom is clean, stylish, and well-equipped. Overall, it’s a comfortable and pleasant place to live.
