Vantage Tower, SO19

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

Vantage Tower sits in an enviable location, right by the water across from Ocean Village Marina. Beautiful. Access to the city is by a short journey just across Itchin Bridge (£1.20 toll each way for cars), and Woolston train station has great connections into and beyond Southampton and Portsmouth. Woolston itself is not a great place. A lot of antisocial behaviour and thefts. That’s definitely a negative.

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

Yes. An issue was reported and resolved the very same day. Consistently great service.

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

I hadn’t appreciated the absence of adequate ventilation before I moved in, nor the thefts from the local area. I would say that the car park management company are the worst I’ve experienced, but this is clearly out of the control of Compass Rock/Vantage Tower.

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

The surroundings are calm and quiet. There is a big lidl nearby and woolston train station is also walkable. The water views around are quite nice.

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

They were quick to resolve any issues raised in regards to apartment or parking.

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

Parking is little far and there is no direct connection to the underground parking from the building.

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

Good range of shops, restaurants and open spaces. Lovely walks along Weston Shore. Easy parking. No traffic, lovely views

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

Any issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently the building and surrounding areas are very well maintained tanked

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

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

Lovely and quiet location, very close to bus stop and train station so easy to get around. Handy local shops including Lidl, great wine bar, craft beer pub and cafes.

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