I want to give 5 stars to The Kell for its location. The Kell is fantastic for professionals to live in, minutes walk to ASDA & LIDL, very quite to avoid noise interruption. Also minutes walk to GP. Parking is convinient inside the building with both underground and on-street. 5 minutes drive to Gillingham Station. The bin collections is in-time to avoid bad smell.

one thing - depend on whether you want a balcony or not. Some of the flats have balcony and some haven't. If you prefer one, you can communciate with them to double check whether yours will have. And this apartment is very quite considering its location, perfect for professionals to be self-relax in home. But I'm not sure whether it fits others' taste.

Living in my local area offers a wonderful blend of benefits. The community is vibrant and welcoming, with friendly neighbors and plenty of local events. There are many parks and recreational facilities, perfect for families and outdoor enthusiasts. The local schools are highly rated, providing a great education for children. On the downside, the cost of living can be on the higher side, and traffic during rush hours may be frustrating. However, the positives almost always outweigh these minor inconveniences, making it a lovely place to call home.

Living in this area has its perks. In terms of shopping, we have both Asda and Lidl nearby, which are within walking distance, making grocery shopping easy and convenient. For any essentials that run out, there’s a Londis located just below the building, which is super handy. The neighborhood is quiet and offers a beautiful view, perfect for relaxing walks. The residents here are friendly and always willing to help, adding to the community feel. Parking is paid, which I appreciate, as it ensures allocated spaces for residents. Bin collections are regular, and thankfully, we haven’t experienced any antisocial behavior, which is a relief, especially with a newborn. Overall, it’s a safe, family-friendly area that’s great for a peaceful lifestyle.

Before moving into The Kell, I wish I had known about the noise levels during certain times of the day. While the area is generally quiet, you can occasionally hear traffic noise during rush hours. But closing the windows is a perfect solution.
