We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The area is very calm, the street at night are very quite, just few cars pass through the main road, however Excess road is amazing, lots of beautiful restaurants and coffee shop. I wish there was a big Tesco as the only one close by is very small, not enough to for a big shop.

I really enjoy livingredients at The Island building, I always can find park outside, the building management is very helpful. The garden outside is very well maintained. The area is very well connected, however I mostly use my car. Tesco is 5 min walk distance. I totally recommend the area for families, very safe very quite, and with a private courtyard. If there is anything you would change about your flat or property what would it be? I wouldn't change anything, bedroom and living room are big enough.

The are is very convenience, I'm riding my bicycle to work in 15 min, the building management keep the garden in a spectacular way. What I love about the area is my favourite coffee shop named Dolce vita, is very nice open and open on the weekend. The area is quite safe, however my bicycle has been stolen few weeks ago

The living room is built in with the kitchen so it's hard to design the front room. There is not enough shops around, I would love if there was a little convenience store. The area could be improved, however I like live here, peaceful, clean and safe.

The area is very quite, I feel safe when I walk home from, work. The building is nice, however I wish that the inside designed was not so modern. In my opinion the area needs totally more shops or at-least a convenience store. The building management is very efficient and they keep the building very clean
