The Octagon - 1 Great Charles Street Queensway, Birmingham, B3 3DS

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

The location of the octagon gives excellent access to transport links, bars, reatraunts and shops within less than a 5 minute walk. I am unaware of any antisocial behaviour within or around the octagon as all residents appear to be reapectful. Sometimes there is traffic noise from police sirens paticularly at night, however this is expected from a big city.

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

During my first few days of moving in, I struggled to set up the wifi and in addition have locked myself out of my apartment a few times and staff have immedietly helped me and continued to show kindness. Since moving in, everyone has made me feel welcome, asking if I need any help with anything and are always there to chat to. Anytime I have any questions, staff are there to talk it through with me and help as soon as possible.

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

Nothing! Everything has been very positive and I am thoroughly enjoying the events and social aspects the octagon offers! I hope to attend more in the future.

Been a month since I have moved into the Octagon and it’s been amazing so far!

Perfect for a young professional if work is located in city center.
