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

The location is brilliant. Being right next to Cannon Hill Park gives you so much peace and quiet, and because the building isn't boxed in by other high-rises, you get beautiful, open views that you just can't find anywhere else in the B5 area. Well-connected to city centre with less than 10 min by bus. Aldi is right over the street 🙂 PureGym is in Corkfield building but you need to pay separate membership (it's not free for residents) EV parking is available and you pay a fixed amount for parking and you can use it unlimited.

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

It is pretty quick and always they are looking for some improvement. Of course sometimes problem or issues happen, but they are keen to resolve it and communicate with residents well. They provide monthly newsletter and updates regarding any issues or scheduled events in our community.

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

Alma is in a fantastic location with a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars all within walking distance. Transport links are excellent, with Aldgate East, Aldgate and Liverpool Street stations nearby, making it very convenient to travel across London. The street is generally lively but feels safe, and building management keeps communal areas and bin collections super well maintained.

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

The building management team has been responsive and helpful whenever I have raised an issue. Communication has generally been clear, and any concerns have been addressed in a timely and professional manner. Overall, I have found the management to be extremely friendly and committed to maintaining a positive living environment.

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 busy and lively the area can be, especially during peak hours. While the location is extremely convenient with great transport links and amenities, the surrounding streets can sometimes feel quite fast-paced and noisy compared to what you might expect from a viewing. It’s not necessarily a negative, but it’s something worth being aware of before moving in so you know what to expect day to day.
