Not to be biased by other people's opinions of the area. People tend to have a somewhat negative perception of Croydon but it looks very nice so far!

The Quarters Croydon is the best location! Proximity to shops, trains, trams, buses and the Overground is around 7 mins! The crosswalk out the front door to Whitgift Centre is a godsend! The glazing on the windows blocks out the road noise when closed. I never hear my neighbours either. There are squares nearby, outside, behind and near the East Croydon station, plus Park Hill is a short walk for a beautiful park with tennis courts, a herb garden, dog-walking and grassy picnic space. I feel happy every day knowing I will be home in an short, easy journey from Central London. The Quarters Croydon is just one stop from London Bridge or Clapham Junction, 2 from Victoria or Waterloo and 20 mins to Gatwick Airport or St Pancras for Eurostar.

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

I haven't raised any problems. I imagine they would be helpful.

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

It's a wonderful place to live and has a great community feel. The annual Christmas party brings people together and as big as the building is, I feel at home and that I can talk to fellow residents in the lift or in passing. The friendly tone is set by the staff that we are all living together and in London, or any city, that is a real gift!

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

We have a tram stop outside and East Croydon station within a 5 min walk. The area is up and coming with some really good places to eat.

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

They have been prompt and have been very helpful as well as respect privacy.

Try and view at least 2 apartments before making a decision, that’s what I did and the staff gave me a choice. This does help you potentially see different floors/views and size of rooms.

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

Quarters is conveniently located close to restaurants and shops, and most importantly the train station.

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

I’ve not had any issues during my time in this apartment

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

Absence of a gym can be a limiting factor for many

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

The building is in a great area across from a tube station that’s well connected, 2 grocery stores, bus stops right next door, great coffee shops, and walking distance to Primrose Hill and Hampstead high street. As a woman living alone, I felt incredibly safe and had no issues at all.

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

The building is so well run and the staff genuinely care about offering the best experience to tenants. The AC/heat work perfectly without issue and if I ever had a question on the facilities, the maintenance team responded so quickly.

Couldn’t be in a better location with great amenities and a clean space. Highly recommend!
