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

Positives: - Within a 5-8 minute drive away from local shops and amenities such as Saisbury's, Aldi and Cannon Park Shopping Centre - A 5 minutes drive away from Tile Hill Primary Care Centre (containing a GP and Dental services) as well as Tile Hill Library - A 2 minute drive (10 minute walk) from Cromwell Garage, making convenient for MOT testing - 4 minute drive from Tile Hill Station (has free parking) - 11 minute drive from Coventry City - Apartment comes with a parking slot and there is visitor parking behind the building. Negatives - No food waste bin - Neighbours (both within and outside the building) can be quite noisy at night. E.g. Playing loud bass-heavy music at night - The bin shed lock breaks frequently and neighbours do not even bother to lock the shed door after use.

Cheaper bills ans reasonable rent, although a big jump in rent this year compared to last year.

I'm very happy with the area, I have local shops, gym, big superstores, my work place all with in 1 mile. The traffic routes are great and are very easy to head into Coventry or Birmingham. The flats themselves are situated off a main road and therefore are very quiet, infact I can't hear any traffic from were my flat is situated and the people in my block are very quiet aswell. All in all it's very peaceful living here.

The only 'problem' was that when I moved in there was a lock in the bin cupboard and I couldn't find the come in the welcome pack, quick phone call to the offices and the code was passed over.

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

I order quite alot off Amazon, sometimes the delivery driver will bring the item up the stairs and leave it outside my door, sometimes they will leave the item under the post boxes on the ground floor. This confused me at first as I had a message saying it was delivered to me but was actually left downstairs, but you soon get used to it.
