A guide to living in City of Glasgow

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

For convenience you cannot beat this location, it's in the middle of an exciting city. The main station in Glasgow is 12 min walk away, argyle street and at Enoch tube are 5 min. It's not too noisy on the 7th floor facing Trongate because of good sound insulation. There is some anti social behaviour in any central city but much safer than London for phone snatching. Surrounded by restaurants and on the main street for shops

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

Yes though it did take a nudge from Laurie to get a reply to my emails. All good now

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

The flat is so warm you don't need to switch on the heating

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

The location of the property is amazing, however because of such an amazing location, there is no affordable parking nearby. The restaurants and stores around are amazing and full of diversity, would definitely recommend. The public transport is nearby and and it is very close to the university and many organisations.

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

I haven’t had any problems that needed attention so NA

A locale shop would be ideal something under the premises? Maybe even a cafe/coffee shop Too? I think a bar would be fabulous also! It’s an amazing space and I really enjoyed when you opened up the office space at reception for an art event/gallery. That was really cool and invoked community engagement which is very rare in this era!

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

Quickly and efficiently. However when I wrote a cover letter about the lack of hot water first few weeks I didn’t get a response.

The cinema room rental seems a little steep! Thanks for everything otherwise

Our location is great - close to the centre, neighbourhood shops, parks and transport. Love it! It’s really quiet for its central location so we have very few issues.

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

Super responsive and very helpful. See my comments above.

This is a new building so it’s going to take some settling into itself. I’m learning a lot about its design and features - make sure you read all the manuals on the app - so helpful!!!

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

It is close to the motorway, close to amenities but tucked away far enough that there is no loudness from the busy streets round about. Parking is good but pricey and should be included in the rent of the apartment (i understand there are only so many spaces available). Bin chutes often not working due to blockages which leads to bad smells in the lift lobbies. Staff are excellent but i feel that the facility is understaffed and way to much is expected of the people that work here. Mark has been really helpful and always there to help and goes above and beyond as is Ross. However some staff can be a little detached.

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

Management team have responded very poorly, we also do not know the management on the same level we know the other staff, they do not try to get to know the residents.

i wish i known how stretched the staff were so that i could manage my level of expectation
