The Green Quarter, UB1

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

Good: Elizabeth line is definitely a highlight if it works properly. It is also one of those that train stops often (unlike Hanwell or West Ealing for example) Lots of Indian shops and cuisine if you need any supply. Great Indian restaurants. Bad: no supermarket other than Ireland. A bit difficult to find beef. Only one cafe and pub in the local area and not many options for restaurants other than Indian food.

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

I wish I would have known which blocks would be used for social housing or planned to be used as social housing. I then will have more time to investigate what the council’s plan is, what Berkeley’s plan is to manage it to make an informed decision. I agree the idea of social housing for the country but equally, I do appreciate communication and a plan to manage different group of people to ensure quality of living. In additional, I would also like to know how this is going to impact the service charge we are paying. I feel like there is a lack of transparency and planning communication.

What is the best feature of your home:

Great interior design and large balcony. Customer care is great.

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

No pubs in the local area, and no supermarkets beyond Iceland (which sells overpriced, low quality food). Relatively safe and clean area. Elizabeth Line is a boost (when it works). Canal is a welcome addition for a Sunday stroll.

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

See amenities comments above. Also, monthly service charge is unusually high.

What is the best feature of your home:

Good sized balcony and high-quality Bosch fridge / dishwasher / washing machine installed.

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

Love how close we are to the station, the only let down is the general area of Southall being somewhat rundown and heavily littered but honestly that doesn’t have anything to do with Berkeley - There are lots of corner shops scattered around which is convenient, and enough supermarkets to manage. Berkeley is great, not many complaints in that department but the area around the Green Quarter can be a bit of a vibe killer.

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

The area in specific ain’t the greatest in my opinion there’s not a lot of variety of places around it’s a very big Asian community so everything around it’s mainly Asian.

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

Very quickly and very effective with a lot of professionalism.
