Living at Minerva Square has been a highly positive experience, with just one area for potential improvement: the car park barrier entry. Upgrading it to a more modern system, such as fob access or camera-operated entry, would enhance convenience, as there have been occasional issues with it opening smoothly. However, this is a minor inconvenience, and management is always quick to respond and address any concerns. On a brighter note, the community here is warm and welcoming, and the overall quality of the apartments are excellent.

The area of the development is perfect for access to the city centre, the west end and southside of Glasgow. It's only a quick walk to Kelvingrove and the University of Glasgow, so is a perfect location for students. The local area is full of excellent quality restaurants, cafes and bars and is extremely close to a reasonably sized Lidl. Access to public transport is no problem with the exhibition centre train station being directly outside the building and many bus stops being close by. I find the sound of traffic and trains doesn't bother me and the doors and windows block out most noise. Overall, the area of the development is excellent. However, I do find that £100 a month for a parking space is a little steep, and there is no free parking in the local area.

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

In my opinion, there isn’t a better place to live in Glasgow than this. You are literally metres walk away from streets filled with amazing restaurants, bars, supermarkets and local shops. Also, 2 minutes walk to the train station which is a couple of minutes from the town centre so you don’t have to worry about parking! Parking on site has barriers so you always feel safe and secure. It’s also surprisingly so quiet for how central the location is. The train is passing super slowly so you can barely hear it go by.

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

Yes, I have only really had 1 minor issue on the first day I moved in which was solved instantly!

I really don’t have anything negative to say about the development or area. Also, anyone who has come to visit or stay has only had positive feedback about our home. I asked my boyfriend how long he thinks we will stay here and he said he would buy it if he could.

Minerva square is perfect place to live with all amenities and facilities quite in reach. Having a train station nearby makes it easier to travel, have lidl and tesco quite close for groceries. There are pretty good places to eat too nearby. I am living quite and comfortable life here. Minerva square is new establishment but feel pretty secure with all the cameras in place. All and all pretty nice to live.

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

For any problems or issues it is pretty easy to connect with the property management. Any emails or calls to Julie would be addressed pretty quickly. I have never had to wait much for a response from her or a call back. Even the issues can be raised via app and they shall be addressed on time.

I wish I would have known that this establishment is near the station, so easy to travel, wouldn't have to look at other places.

Finneston is one of my favourite places I’ve lived. There is so much here and it’s easy to get around to everywhere else with the train station so close. The street is usually extremely quiet, there is the occasional rowdy sounds of folk coming out the hydro, but the sound insulation of the flat is really good so I usually just close the windows if it’s bothering me. If you arnt willing to pay for a parking spot at the flat then it can be really difficult for parking as you can’t get a permit with this flat and when there is something in at the hydro.

They’ve been amazing at responding to any issues and when I came to change my lease Julie was so helpful and efficient.

Honestly my only issue is the bathroom floor and shower. Everything else about the flat I love.
