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

Living on my street is generally peaceful and convenient. There’s a good mix of local shops, restaurants, and cafes within walking distance, offering a variety of cuisines and essentials. Several bars nearby add to the area’s social atmosphere without causing too much disruption. Green open spaces are easily accessible, perfect for walks or relaxation. Public transport is reliable, with frequent buses and nearby train stations, though rush hour can get crowded. Parking is limited and often competitive, especially in the evenings. Bin collections are regular, but occasionally missed. Anti-social behaviour is rare, and traffic noise is minimal, making it a comfortable and well-connected place to live overall.

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

The building management has generally responded well to issues, usually addressing them within a reasonable timeframe. While there have been occasional delays in communication, most problems—such as maintenance requests or communal area concerns—have been resolved effectively and professionally.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how limited the parking availability can be, especially during evenings and weekends—it often requires circling the area for a while. I’d also advise new neighbours to double-check bin collection days, as they’re not always clearly communicated. On the positive side, I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the building is, even with nearby bars and restaurants. A helpful tip for newcomers: get to know the property manager early on, as it makes resolving issues much smoother. Also, join any local community groups—they’re great for updates, recommendations, and getting to know your neighbours.

Moda is super close to town centre. It’s been so lovely to be able to walk to and from work and just nip into town. There’s an Aldi not too far and a sainsburys local attached to the building which is fab!
