Kampus, M1

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

Located directly in a lively and energetic area, it's easy to find fun new restaurants, shops, cafes, pubs, etc right near by. Some of the bars can be noisy late into the night.

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

Very nice furniture provided for furnished apartments.

The location of Kampus is everything I’ve ever wanted and needed out of a city centre abode. It’s within 5 minutes of all of the city’s best dining and coffee spots with some of my all time favourites (Pollen and Nell’s) being directly below my apartment building. When I want to meet mates at either restaurant they can park directly outside with a reasonably priced car park that’s usually got space for them. The dog friendly living has been a game changer and my beagle absolutely loves it here and has come on leaps and bounds from the dog social aspect of kampus. He has lots of new resident doggy friends. The dog shop that’s part of the kampus is amazing, the products are great, staff are lovely and we get resident discount! Super convenient.

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

Incredibly efficient service from building managers. Nothing is ever too much trouble and we’ve lost or left our keys in our apartment more times than your average resident :)

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

I wish I’d have known that the gym was so well equipped and maintained and be on par with a city centre gym I pay a monthly membership for.

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

Kampus is right next to the Piccadilly train station and walkable to the city. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Feels very safe here, didn't see any crime activity while living there in a year.

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

They were helpful, resolved most of the problems we raised.

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

Not really. Things are pretty much as expected. No real surprises.

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

The location of the apartment is just so convenient for travelling and living. The events and facilities also allow tenants to take a break during festivals and after an exhausting day.

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

I have faced different problems when I was living in Kampus. Sometimes things take time to fix. But the staff would reply patiently.

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

I hope I can participate in more events and use the facilities more frequently. Because it is not cheap to live there.

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

Very noisy and unsafe, with people hanging around the courtyard late at night. Central Manchester location has its perks though.

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

Absolutely not. Response time while living there was very long, and issues since leaving have broadly been met with automated responses.

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

How little the management company cares about the development.
