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

Good connections to the city by underground lines which are very close by. Good range of shops in the surrounding areas too.

I have on occasion raised small repairs and maintenence queries with the building manager Darek who has responded promptly and organized the right people to help out.

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

Have a walk around the nearby areas as the surroundings are also important

Alameda, Wembley Park, HA9

Jun 2025

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

It’s nice living in Wembley Park, easy route to the station and loads of shops around you. Event days are very busy but the council / building are good at managing it and things get cleaned up and back to normal quickly after, notice is also given.

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

Mostly okay, one major request which took some escalation and we are still waiting on.

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

It’s so nice living in an area where security are always walking around, the biggest plus as a woman. For Alameda specifically, package system works really well and we’ve never experienced any theft etc, gym is great and 24/7. Bin system has gotten better under the new management. Come to Alameda you won’t regret it :)

Stylish, Convenient Living for the Modern Professional

Verified Resident

The Quarters Croydon, CR0

Jun 2025

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

Huge choice of shops, restaurants, and bars right on your doorstep, including the popular Boxpark and two large shopping centres. For a bit of green space, parks like Park Hill and Lloyd Park are nearby. Getting around is very convenient as East Croydon station is a short walk away, offering quick train links to central London and Gatwick Airport. The area is also well-connected by numerous bus and tram routes.

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

The building management has been outstanding. They respond to any queries almost instantly, and every single issue I've raised has been fully resolved on the same day.

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

A key tip for moving in: definitely remember to bring your own clothes hangers. For everything else, don't worry about having it all at once. There's a street just around the corner where you can easily find any kitchen essentials or other bits you need as you settle in.
