The close proximity of other buildings creates an urban feel to the development, but the advantage of green space (our own large pond and veteran oaks!) makes birdsong and wildflowers omnipresent only a short walk away. The architecture is varied, reflective of the Cambridge vernacular, and very thoughtful of light and seasons. We were attracted to Eddington especially because of the promise to be sustainable and eco friendly; that challenge is ongoing, especially with the solar panels and water systems. The ground landscaping? Different visions are a source of discussion among neighbours and have resulted in an odd mix of contrasting landscaping, in my opinion. Formal clipped hedges and roses? Seasonal wildflowers and grasses? Maintaining a healthy landscaped environment is an ongoing challenge. I believe it will continue to improve and I enjoy learning about what grows well here. The management makes an effort to inform and engage us.

I'm quite happy with the building management. Everything is kept in check. There have been no any major issues over the last several years. The hotel nearby isn't a problem and only adds some liveliness, which is otherwise lacking. The design is nice.

The design is very modern, lineal and minimalist. Although it lacks the character of the older architecture of the historical city center, it certainly has a fresh vibe with plenty of young families and students as residents and private tenants. Quiet, peaceful, and respectful neighborhood.

The award-winning design of both the buildings and grounds makes walking and cycling a pleasure. There are a variety of paths to use and this increases the likelihood of meeting a friendly neighbour en route. The development is also thoughtfully designed to accommodate differently abled people with smooth pathways and thresholds to enter buildings. Noteable, too, is the beauty of the architecture in the changing light and the integration of different materials into the overall scheme. There is a harmony of public and private spaces. From our terraces, we feel encouraged to look up and take in the stars. However, we do wish that maintenance fees would be used to better look after the public landscaping. It can look neglected and overgrown; even natural areas need care as the seasons change. Our villas have issues with the solar panels not working as they should, but work is being done to adjust the height and angles to maximize their efficiency. We appreciate the communications we have had regarding this. We would also like some more sheltered or semi-covered areas in the square or nearby to gather. For example, where the large, long tables are situated just beyond the Square near the PostDoc building can be extremely windy at the best of times. We would like to use them more often, but would like a windbreak to help. We are surprised that so few businesses have opened up in Eddington, but I suspect the rent is very high. Can something be done to attract more businesses and offices? Additionally, the birdblind Fata Morgan Teahouse needs to be looked after. Garbage is left behind, small fires are started by kids, and it feels as if nobody checks in periodically. A few minutes of maintenance every couple of weeks would remedy this. Brook Leys is an asset we all enjoy, and is a welcome escape from the city.

Personally I think everything is done and is being managed pretty well. The exterior design is very nice, although the interior is unimpressive. I have had just one complaint/request, which has been fixed only over a year later. The level of cleanliness is pretty good.
