Superb Living Conditions

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

The Point is located extremely well, very centrally in Aberdeen. There are plenty of bars/shops/cafes nearby, with other attractions such as the Maritime museum and The Art Gallery being located very close by too. Union Square Shopping centre, and the train station are also a short walk 10 minute walk away. This allows for excellent transport links out of the city. There is a bus stop with buses to the airport located nearby. Plenty of parking options in the vicinity. Belmont street is located right next to The Point with a lot of bars/pubs/restaurants on offer. Overall, a high quality location that makes living at The Point highly convenient.

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

There have been no problems/issues as such. Everything has been excellent. Any requests/queries I have had were met with a great attitude and assistance was provided each time.

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

Bookings for some of the bookable spaces such as the TV room/club room are highly competitive!

Feels like home

Lincoln S (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Point, AB10

Dec 2024

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

There are many really great coffee shops in the area, as well as easy to reach shops that stay open later. Despite being next to the train line and major roadways, the building insulation keeps the noise out. The area is beautiful, and in the spring when the flowers bloom the Union Terrace Gardens next door are amazing.

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

Yes, once the wifi in the laundry room went out and the staff did a good job of keeping us in the loop on when we could expect repairs from the external company.

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

The fact that you can walk across the street to the Art Gallery at any time of day is just great

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

Good Aspects: Great location, lovely staff and plenty of activities with the tenets. Feels like a proper community. Bad Aspects: No car parking, right next to the street which means certain flats get cars and buses passing by.

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

Have been efficient and reached out on time whenever needed. Always checking up and taking the time to ask about the living experience. Emails in advance to inform on maintenance and regular updates

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

That each room gets a private wifi router. which is brilliant
