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

New Vic is the place to live when you want to fall out of your front door and be in the thick of it. That said, the soundproofing is amazing so unless you need your windows open, you wouldn’t know. There is secure on site parking, and great transport links. Most of the time the bin chutes are out of order, which would bother me if I was a woman living alone as the bin storage room is a little unnerving.

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

Yes, maintenance issues are responded to in a timely fashion, so long as they are reported to the right people.

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

The cinema room is almost impossible to book, unless you know where you’re going to be three months in advance. They do open it to walk-ins at midnight, but this doesn’t work for some (I’m not a night owl!)

I love the area, it’s really close to every where. Can’t really name the bad things, but maybe the fact that we’re so close to the Victoria and AO sometimes it’s hard to get signal and also can be pretty loud

we are slap bang in the city centre, right next to victoria station. It´s a fantastic location for my work and getting out in the city and the local area. There are dozens of bars, places to eat and things to do within walking distance. there is currently roadworks on the street outside the building which is causing a lot of traffic, but that´s no one fault.

yeah, the team here are all great. we haven´t had any issues to raise
