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

It’s in an ideal location in Shepshed. It’s far enough out of the way that we don’t get any loud noise from the pubs, schools or parks and it’s close enough to the shops, fields and other shepshed locations and services, to not make day to day life a hassle

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

The overall plans for the estate. We have spoken to several builders and have been told that there is talk of a park being built. We aren’t mad about that, just an overall plan would have been great

We are so happy living here! We lived in Shepshed some years ago and never thought we would move back, but when seeing this property was available, and in what location in Shepshed it was in, we couldn't resist returning. The street is so peaceful and quiet, it's beautiful living so close to Blackbrook and backing straight onto endless fields. Parking is great for ourselves personally and when we have guests; our two designated spaces are very helpful, but also there is plenty of space on the road too. Shepshed itself holds many great conveniences, such as 2 Co-ops, 1 Tesco and 1 Asda. All the takeouts we use regularly are exceptional too, so that's a bonus! There is a lovely park in the center of Shepshed. Also, having the M1 so close by is amazing for visiting family and friends in Leicester and in other places for us such as Nottingham and Derby. It's particularly quiet in our location, surprisingly so being not far from the M1. However, I think being on the East side of Shepshed, so close to fields and the furthest away from the Motorway really helps. We feel very safe in this estate, it's far away from the center of Shepshed and its rougher areas, so we have no worries of anti-social behavior, especially so being right at the end of the cul-de-sac.

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

Very well. One of our doors wouldn't shut properly, so I raised the problem and they got a joiner to come over within. a few days who rectified the issue perfectly. Also, initially upon moving in, there was a minor gas leak simply from something not being tightened as it should, and the plumber ensured it was safe before our first night in the property which was reassuring.

Wish we would have known how long it would be taking for pavements and road to be completed.

It is a nice estate to live in as it is close to the m1 and east midlands airport, you have most of the shops you need in the town center but the town it's self is a mixed bag but everywhere is on my street in particular their is quite a bit of anti social behaviour but that should soon change as art the people causing it are housing association so they should deal with the handfull of people who cause issues, everyone else I have meant have been so friendly and easy to get along with what you want in a neighbourhood

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

I don't feel the housing associating have helped as much as they could have with resolving issues of anti social behaviour
