living in this area is really convenient and comfortable. There aren’t many walkable shops right on the doorstep, so you do usually need to drive or get transport to pick things up. However, there’s actually a lot nearby within a short drive. there can be traffic but that is mostly all t city centres
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All problems i’ve raised were dealt with personally and quickly by lobby staff which i greatly appreciate.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not allowed to have delivery food directly to your door.
