The location is in such a prime area, very easy to get around! There is a grocery store just opposite the front door along with a 200 acre park. I don't hear any traffic noise which is wonderful, the amenities are brilliant and very well organised! The people are incredibly friendly and welcoming, I cannot recommend this building enough to anyone and everyone!!!

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

I haven't had any problems per say. Anything I've brought up with the staff has quickly been "resolved" meaning they answered promptly and effectively to ease my mind!

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

The one thing I wish I'd had known was the "lack" (not always accessible) of trolleys! When I moved in, luckily my stuff was in rollable suitcases but I had my cats as well and it just took a bit more to get everything sorted. I just wish there were a few more that residents could use !

The location is excellent – right by Aldgate East station, just across the street. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafés nearby, making daily life very convenient. Transport links are outstanding with easy access to multiple tube lines and bus routes. The street itself is safe and generally quiet, with regular bin collections and no major issues with traffic or anti-social behaviour.

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

The building management has always been very responsive and helpful. Any issues I raised were addressed quickly and professionally, with clear communication throughout. Special thanks to Daisy, who has been patient and efficient in resolving everything.

TBH, there isn’t anything I wish I had known before moving in. The experience has been very smooth, and everything was as expected from the start.

Corkfield is perfectly situated if you want a mix of city living and out of town. Halfway between Moseley and Stichley, 10 mins off the bus to the city centre and across the road from Cannon Hill Park.

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

So far, so good. We've not had any. The team is always on-hand when you need them and are ready to help.

Aldgate East has turned out to be such a hidden gem. From the tube stop straight out your front door, to the incredibly restaurants in every direction, to the parks and markets just a short bike ride away, we've found this area to be so much more vibrant, exciting, and fun than we ever could have imagined.

Whether you need help getting all your packages upstairs or your laundry machine moved the Alma team rises to the occasion. It's super easy to fill out a maintenance request in their residents' app and they acknowledge it right away, taking the feedback seriously - no matter how big or small.

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

It is such an underrated treat to have a building management team that truly cares. It's not just about getting a maintenance request addressed - it's about getting your feet on the ground in a new city, coming home to people who care, and feeling like you're a part of a community, both within the building and throughout the surrounding area. The Alma is all that and more. Because of the relationships the staff have established with local restaurants, shops, and grocers, we've gotten to know so many other people throughout East London, ventured to new places we might have otherwise skipped, and had experiences we never expected. Whether it's a private tour of Whitechapel Gallery or a residents' event catered by Ara, we have absolutely loved getting to known this little corner of London.
