A guide to living in Croydon

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

Transport links are convenient and reliable, making it easy to get around. While there can be occasional delays during peak hours, overall, the connectivity to nearby areas is quite good, and I have not encountered any major problems. On my street, parking availability is reasonable, although it can get a bit busy during the weekends. Bin collections are efficient, and I've noticed that the area is well-kept. While there are occasional instances of anti-social behaviour, they are relatively rare, and traffic noise is manageable. One downside is the absence of a nearby supermarket, which would be a convenient addition. However, given the overall quality of services and amenities in the area, it remains a great place to live.

Well, we informed the management well in advance about our moving date but unfortunately the painting was pending to be completed but still they managed to complete it on the date of moving in. We also noticed there was some water leakage for about 2 weeks for which the management gave us an alternative flat to use for our daily chores. Much appreciated. We have also shared few minor cracks here and there in the apartment images with the management. Not a concern the management was very helpful in handling all the issues :)

Bad is the local development which blocked my view and exposure of privacy. Good - Hannah and her friendly staff have the building under control any problems I have they always help accordingly I’ve been here 5 years now.
