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

The good aspect is that the building is very well located, it’s right opposite East Croydon station and a walk down to the town centre, as well as being right next to the bus stop and tram stop. The town centre has pretty much everything you need from food, to clothing and etc.

Having been here 4 years, the building management always responded well to all my issues raised other than once they attended quite late to my request but when they did it was resolved quickly

The best aspect of living in the local area is that I can travel anywhere as train stations are everywhere. The bad is that BoxPark can be a bit loud on days where I would want to rest.

I’ve only have 2 issues whilst being here and both were addressed immediately.

I find the local area quite flush with shops and restaurants. Although the trains are a bit iffy with arrival times, the location of the train station allows me to plan accordingly which is of great convenience

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

Management has been prompt in attending to issues I've raised, my only critique would be if I got a notification via email that my issue was resolved.

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

I would have liked to know if I could have gotten a longer contract. I was under the impression that 12 months was the most, I still don't know if that's accurate or not.

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

I believe that the location is the best as it is just in front of the station and there are so many shops nearby. I haven't yet found something bad about the place.

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

They are so helpful, specially Chantel, and Delphine.
