Waterside Apartments, LS12

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

Great location, short walk to the canal & town centre. Few minutes from Wellington Place with a variety of lunch/dinner spots, bars, as well as Sainsburys. A few minutes further and you’re in the town centre. Can park on the road outside the flats for a short period without getting a ticket, or can pay extra for a secured parking space. On the side of the main motorway so can be a bit noisy, but you do get used to it and can’t hear it after a short while. Never had any complaints with this! Safe area, no anti social behaviour or anything like that.

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

Rosie has always been brilliant and quick to respond to any issues that I’ve had. Can’t give her enough credit, always willing to help and sort anything that I’ve needed.

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

You can’t seem to get a smart meter fitted in the flats to help with cheaper electric, so the electric bill may be a bit more expensive than other places in the centre. My average bill is around £90 per month, with being out of the house majority of the day all week and not using it much in the evenings.

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

Easy access to town and amenities - walking distance. Canal walks are lovely. Quiet area, but some great pubs and restaurants.

Good location near the city centre and canal. Small supermarkets in walking distance but would probably need a car to get to the bigger ones. Train station about 15 mins walk away.
