The Reserve, EN8

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

Parking availability is a nightmare, random people park resident bays. Also, its unfair that some residents have drive ways which can fit 2 vehicles and some only have one parking bay allocated to them. The land could’ve easily be used more wisely.

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

-Parking can be a nightmare -Problems constantly arise within the property.

There’s lots of shops, schools and station very close. Easy reach of M25. Smack bang right on Lea valley park and Whitewater Rafting centre is next door. There’s lots of green area and 2 pleasant natural balancing ponds. The kids enjoy the small play park. Traffic in WX can be busy at times but on the whole not a problem. There is no traffic noise to speak of. Bin collections are reliable. Although there is extra visitor parking you have to buy permits to use them. The drive is long and can fit 3 cars. Downside is you have to get them all out to get the first one in out. As parking on the road is not allowed you may get a ticket while doing this, I did. That’s nothing to do with the build, but the landowners choice. The garden is a great size and there’s plenty of lush foliage around the development. All in all a super place to live, it’s hidden away and I call it Waltham Cross best kept secret!

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

Easy access to major roads and town centre is excellent

What is the best feature of your home:

Its position on the development is fabulous. Plenty of wildlife to observe and green space

The Reserve was built in a fantastic location and this is the main reason we chose to buy here. We can get into the City in 30 minutes, Stratford in 20 and onto the M25 in 5 ! Having great transport links was very important to us. Having Lee Valley Park on our doorstep was a massive plus! This has been incredible for local walks and getting out. The town itself is run down and not attractive but the benefits of living on the development outweighed this for us and we understand the town is being developed.

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

I would have appreciated more information about the local area, schools and proposed developments.

What is the best feature of your home:

Stunning location with great transport links, a stone throw away from London.
