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

The area has a range of trendy shops, diverse restaurants, and lively bars. Open spaces like Cutting Room Square offer community events. Transport links are convenient, with tram stops and bus routes. Parking availability in Ancoats is often challenging due to high demand and limited spaces and noise levels may vary on specific streets. Bin collections are typically well-managed, but like any urban area, occasional anti-social behavior may occur. It's advised to explore the neighborhood and consider individual street dynamics.

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

N/A – Never reported a problem to building management

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

The location is great, many food shops, takeaways and a stones throw away from the northern quarter if you are looking for a good brunch spot or late night bar scene. Only problem is parking! The area is in development meaning most of the free parking in the area for residence have been blocked off.

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

I once had an issue with the fuses, and the team had someone come fix it within the hour, and the staff on the desk were very helpful as I had to leave whilst they fixed it.

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

That you have to pay for the parking, on the seller site it stated the flat came with a car parking space and is why I picked this unit. so when I moved in and was told I couldn't use it I was confused. I understand the price to compete with the area, but residence should be given a free or discounted space to use, then charge more for an extra etc. Also, temporary use (1-2 day) permits would be handy for guests. But overall it has not ruined my living experience.
