Sainsburys is in the building, John Lewis and Victoria Gate shopping centre right across the road which is handy. Bus station is nearby and train station isn’t far either but everything in the city centre is walking distance

MODA New York Square is right in the heart of Leeds city centre, which makes everything incredibly accessible. There’s a wide range of restaurants, cafés, and local shops just steps away, along with a fresh farmers market right across the street and the historic indoor Kirkgate Market nearby. For groceries, Sainsbury’s is the nearest large supermarket, with plenty of convenience options like Sainsbury’s Local, Tesco Express, and Co-op also nearby. Transport links are generally excellent, with bus stops, Leeds train station, and cycle routes all within easy reach. However, traffic can get congested during peak hours, especially on nearby main roads. Living on this street is fairly peaceful. Bin collections are reliable, and the development is well-maintained. Parking is limited for visitors but manageable for residents. There’s little to no anti-social behaviour, and the area feels safe and vibrant, especially with the secure entry and on-site staff at MODA.

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

The building management at MODA has been consistently responsive and efficient whenever we’ve raised an issue. Whether it’s maintenance requests, general queries, or help with deliveries, the team responds promptly. Minor repairs have been dealt with quickly and professionally, and communication through the MODA app makes the whole process smooth and transparent.

Limited visitor parking, which makes it difficult if you have a company for few hours. However there is a Victoria parking across the street for £10 a day. We do home cooked meals and tend to spend fair bit of time in the kitchen. It is small with limited prep space. It can get a bit noisy during in-house events. Communal areas can get busy.
