well-organized and efficient.I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at Moda Mercian. The facilities are top-notch, and the maintenance team is always responsive. The community feel is great, and the location is very convenient. However, the recent renovation has caused some disruptions to the communal areas.

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

Everything is clear. As a Moda Mercian resident, I've been quite happy with my stay. The amenities are great, especially the on-call maintenance service. However, the ongoing renovation has been disruptive, impacting the overall aesthetics, particularly the lobby. I hope these disruptions can be minimized soon to restore the previous charm of the place.

Living on Broad Street in Birmingham has its pros and cons. The area is vibrant and lively, with a wide range of shops, bars, clubs, and restaurants nearby — great for nightlife and entertainment. There are also green spaces like Brindleyplace and the canal area within walking distance, which offer a nice break from the urban energy. Transport links are excellent — close to New Street Station, multiple bus routes, and even trams nearby

wish I had known how lively the area can get on weekends due to the nightlife nearby. It’s not a major issue, but light sleepers might want to consider a higher floor or a unit facing away from Broad Street.

The transport is very good! News street station is only 10 mins walk and the five ways station for students who go to UOB is perfect. The street at the front is a little bit loud on weekends but otherwise it’s okay.
