Close to local shops/pubs and parks

Review Date Sep 2024

Close to local shops/pubs and parks so lots to do in the daytime, generally nice aria with not much disturbances at night from local residence or traffic noise, enough parking for everyone out front with extra added on. Close to local transport links and the perfect out of city center distance from Manchester but still walkable

Please review your development:

The huse itself is really nice, looks sleek and modern from the outside maximizing on space if the property. The living room on the first floor could be an ofput to some people however I personally quite like it! Nice little garden outside the back perfect for the summer time

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

There is nothing that comes to mind really! The gates don’t work on the entrance to the community so one is left open all the time and one is constantly shut but that’s about it

What is the best feature of your home:

Big spacious kitchen/dining room that opens straight up onto the garden along with a garage that opens from the front and the back making it ideal for hosting friends/family

Living in my local area has several advantages. There is a good variety of local shops, restaurants, and bars, offering different cuisines and price ranges. The open spaces and parks nearby are perfect for outdoor activities and relaxation. Public transport links are convenient, with regular buses and a nearby train station providing easy access to the city and surrounding areas. The neighborhood is generally peaceful, with reliable bin collections and manageable noise levels. It’s a great location for both convenience and access to amenities, making it a pleasant place to live.

Please review your development:

My development offers a well-designed and modern living space with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The facilities are a definite highlight, with a well-maintained gym, communal gardens, and a secure parking area. The layout of the apartments is practical, maximizing space and light, with high-quality fixtures and finishes throughout. Building management is efficient, with regular maintenance checks and swift responses to any issues raised. The property management team is also quite responsive, ensuring common areas are clean and well-kept.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how quickly the community in the building comes together. The neighbors are friendly, and there are occasional social gatherings that create a welcoming atmosphere. It’s something you can’t easily pick up during a typical viewing. Also, understanding the best times for parking can save you from potential frustration. Overall, it’s a great place to live, and knowing these little details beforehand would have made settling in even smoother.

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

The building management is responsive and quick to address issues. They handle minor problems efficiently, keep common areas clean, and maintain regular communication. Their proactive approach to maintenance ensures the building remains in good condition, enhancing the overall living experience.
