I love Stoneywood.
Well designed Apartments, though if you're not too tall you'll need wee steps to reach any of the top shelves! The building is managed very well - any issues I've had have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. The team are very friendly, pleasant and helpful. I am very appreciative of their assistance.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is very convenient for Dyce and the City with good transport links. It's quiet in the block I live in - the airport is close but I actually love the noise of the planes having been brought up near an air base! There are lovely walks by the trees and river very closeby - lots of greenery beauty and being surrounded by wonderful Nature is good for the soul.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Responded extremely well by all the staff, past and present - they've all have been polite, patient, friendly and very helpful to me at all times.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There's nothing I can add - my viewing went well and I had read about Dandara rentals before I arranged to view so I don't feel I needed any additional insight prior to my move.

Positive experience living at the Forbes Place since 2025
The overall experience with the team has been very positive. The level of customer service provided has been consistently high, with clear communication, responsiveness, and a professional approach throughout.
In particular, Talula, Kamile, Rita, and Anne have all been helpful and approachable in their interactions. Their support and attention to detail have contributed to a smooth and efficient process, and their friendly manner has made the experience even better.
Overall, very satisfied with the service provided and happy to recommend the team based on this experience!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The overall experience of the area has been positive. Having an M&S nearby was a great convenience, so it is disappointing to hear that it is closing down.
Bin collections have generally been reliable, and parking availability is good. During my time living there, I did not encounter any anti-social behaviour, and ground traffic noise has been minimal.
The area itself is green and well maintained, which is nice. There are no bars or restaurants in the area, but I'm not bothered with that.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I haven't encountered any problems since lived there. One of my windows needs cleaning but they're currently working on this.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I can't think of anything specific, everything is well as I expected it to be.

Comfortable and Well-Maintained Development
Overall, I’m happy with the development. The design is modern, clean and practical, and the communal areas are generally well maintained. The facilities are good and everything feels convenient for day to day living. Building management and property management have been reliable, with any issues usually handled in a reasonable way. It is a pleasant and comfortable place to live.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Overall, it’s a good area to live in. There is a decent range of local shops and green spaces nearby, and transport links are generally convenient. The street itself is usually quiet, with manageable parking, regular bin collections and no major issues with noise or anti-social behaviour.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has responded very quickly to any problems or issues we have raised. Everything has been dealt with efficiently, and most issues are resolved almost immediately.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We moved here from central Aberdeen and actually prefer this area much more. The atmosphere feels calmer, there are plenty of nice places to walk nearby, and P&J Live is very convenient to have close by. One thing to know is that it can be a little noisy during the day because of planes and helicopters, but in a way it adds to the character of the area rather than being a major issue.
