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

You have LIDL and Tesco in both sides, and can get there in 10 minutes walking. You won’t have a lot of other shop options though, no restaurants, or coffee place, you’d have to get to city centre for that. There’s parking, bin room, hallways are always clean, it’s next to the road, but traffic noise isn’t bad as the walls are thick.

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

They contacted me within 24 hours to have it looked at and fixed.

The area is known for its diverse culinary scene, with numerous restaurants offering various cuisines. Open Spaces: Proximity to parks and green spaces like Edgbaston Reservoir and Summerfield Park provides opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation.

The Jewellery Quarter train station is also nearby, offering convenient rail connections. Bad Aspects: Traffic and Noise: Being close to major roads can lead to traffic congestion and noise, especially during peak hours. Parking Availability: Parking can be challenging, with limited on-street parking spaces. Residents may find it difficult to secure a spot, particularly in the evenings. Bin Collections: While bin collections are generally reliable, some residents have reported occasional delays and issues with litter. Anti-social Behaviour: Like many urban areas, there can be instances of anti-social behavior, including noise disturbances and occasional petty crime. However, this varies and is often dependent on specific streets and times. Overall, Soho Wharf offers a vibrant and convenient urban living experience with its variety of amenities and transport links. However, potential residents should consider the drawbacks like traffic, parking issues, and occasional anti-social behavior.

Before moving into Soho Wharf Development, I wish I had known about the occasional noise levels from the nearby major roads and ongoing construction projects in the area. While the location is highly convenient, the traffic noise can be a bit intrusive at times, especially during peak hours. Insights and Tips: Traffic Noise: If you’re sensitive to noise, consider choosing an apartment facing away from the main roads. Higher floors also tend to be quieter. Parking Availability: Secure a parking spot early, as on-street parking can be limited, particularly in the evenings. Community Engagement: Get involved in community events organized by building management. It’s a great way to meet neighbors and stay informed about any local developments or changes. Bin Collections: Be aware of the bin collection schedule to avoid any inconvenience. Occasionally, collections can be delayed, so it’s good to stay on top of it. Local Amenities: Explore the local shops and restaurants. There are many hidden gems around that you might miss on a typical viewing.
