Only 10 mins to city centre and 10 minutes to Aberdeenshire - great location! Walking distance to Kingswells, Hazelhead and Cults with huge amount of walking areas from the front door including fields and forests. Regular bus route into city centre but could do with more transport links. Still a relatively new development but easy to find and deliveries are able to get here ok. Very quiet, no anti-social behaviour and all our neighbours are lovely.

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

Make sure to look for storage space - it’s extremely important!

What is the best feature of your home:

Storage space, size of rooms including height of ceiling and the quality of finish.

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

Its good locality with school, local shops and pathways for walking etc. At present still constructions are going on so there is lot of traffic noise and dust which end up cleaning windows/doors quite often.

This development is generally a lovely place to live. There is a supermarket and excellent butcher shop within walking distance. The bus runs through the main road in the development into the centre but unfortunately doesn’t stop on the way back so a longer walk is needed. Although there are two bars down in the older part of Cove, it would be great if there was a bar up in the Charleston development. Living on the main road, the traffic noise is quite loud and because my patio doors open out onto the main road, I see a lot of foot traffic too. From time to time the teenagers from around the area hang around the flat building and cause a lot of noise.

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

That the main road outside my flat is actually quite a main route and is busy with traffic.

What is the best feature of your home:

Light and bright living space. I absolutely love the combined kitchen and living area.

Private built houses are lovely, however had we known the amount of social housing which was to be built we may have looked elsewhere. So far amenities are poor with only one commercial unit occupied by Sainsburys. The area around the shop is in desperate need of a bin. Overall however, we love our home and the location - woodland walks on our doorstep and not too far from the city.
