Nice place with easy access to shops.

James (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Point, AB10

Feb 2025

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

There is a good range of shops nearby. Main bus station and train station are about 5 minutes walk. Depending on where you are headed, there is a bus stop about 100 meters away. The downside is there is no parking. It would be good if they could arrange discounts for residents to use car parks that are nearby.

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

Fast response to emails and when I needed something fixed, it was done the next day.

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

Bad: lack of getting to know my neighbours and the level of noise from the road. Good: very helpful staff

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!
