I wish I knew that the rail noise could sometimes be louder than I’d like, since when windows are open, it can sometimes get a bit loud… that’s all.

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

The apartment is right next to victoria park and the canal which is amazing to visit all year around. Bow highstreet is a 10 minute walk away to do general shopping. Parking is hard to come by though. Buses run right outside but there is no tube in the local vicinity.

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

The building management have been slow to fix the car park gate, which is necessary as it leaves the apartment vulnerable.

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

Contact the building management so you can drive close to the entrance when moving in and out. they have a chain across so people cannot park there illegally.

Riverstone Heights is located in a relatively quiet and open area. While the location feels a bit remote, it’s still quite convenient overall. There’s a large supermarket just next to the building, which makes daily shopping easy, although restaurant options nearby are limited. The area is well-connected by public transport, with a tube station within walking distance. The street is generally clean and peaceful, and I haven’t experienced any issues with noise or anti-social behaviour.

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

I haven’t had to raise any issues so far, but the building management has always seemed professional and approachable. The concierge is usually friendly and available, and the overall organisation of the property gives the impression that any future concerns would be handled efficiently.

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

One thing to be aware of is that the area can feel a bit isolated, especially if you don’t drive. While there’s a large supermarket nearby and a tube station within walking distance, restaurant and café options are quite limited. It’s a great place if you value peace and don’t mind a quieter neighbourhood.

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

Location is accessible and near to tube station. The area is safe as well even though after midnight, well lit area. Bin collection is efficient and ensure the building is kept clean at all times.

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

They are fast and responsive and take actions accordingly.so we are happy and satisfied with their overall building management.
