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

Couldn't be much closer to trains buses trams. Restaurants shops pubs etc also. Parking is paid but they gave me free parking over the weekends I moved in and out. Anti social behaviour is everywhere in Croydon, the street is generally fine I had no trouble.

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

They respond very quickly and fix things within hours. Even on a bank holiday someone came out specifically just to fix my radiator.

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

Greggs is shut on Sundays. The coop is great it is round the corner and open till 11pm. Don't walk down alleyways at night. The side entrance to the train station isn't open early morning or late night so be careful when trying to time it. Flats facing the main road get very hot in the summer, Croydon doesn't have much green space. Council tax and tfl to zone 1 are expensive in Croydon. The flat is very safe, the staff are great, the flats are modern and well furnished. The price is fair.

The location is perfect, with few steps away from the undergrounds and bus stops, across the street from Waitrose and a few minute walk to a big Sainsbury

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

They have been incredibly responsive and proactive; they efficiently solved my kitchenware issues and even proactively provided a great heater when my room was chilly. They truly make moving overseas smooth and enjoyable.

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

Just how incredibly convenient the location is and how peaceful the building stays during the day. It is an absolute hidden gem for anyone who needs to work from home a few days a week. The quiet environment makes it so easy to focus without any distractions.

Perfect location. Close to transport links and shopping centre, restaurants and bars. The tram stop is just outside. East croydon Station is a three minute walk. Easy access to London and Gatwick Airport.

The fridge in my studio flat was building a lot of frost and it was quickly replaced when I raised the issue.

There is a private parking adjacent to the Quarters . Think Road station, bus stops, and a very big Waitrose supermarket right across the street. Traffic noise didn’t bother you because my windows were not facing the road.

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

Mr Mitchel was prompt with help . Very polite and professional

One can’t have a better location - the tube station and Waitrose is right across the Finchley Road. Regents Park is just 2 stops away by the Tube to St John wood

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

The property benefits from an excellent location, with a bus stop conveniently situated directly in front of the building. The overground station is less than a one minute walk away, while the tube station is approximately three minutes on foot. The surrounding neighbourhood also offers a wide range of shops, pubs, and other local amenities, providing excellent convenience for residents.

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

The building manager and maintenance team are also very helpful, professional, and efficient in addressing any issues or requests.

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

No issues encountered, hence why I stayed for about nine years in the same building.
