Flat not bad, area not good

SS (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Oaklands Rise, NW10

Feb 2025

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

Nothing around, boring, 15 min walk to tubes/overground, noise outside wasn’t to bad when you live high up, bit dangerous walking in the night because streets are empty

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

Area not good, we were told there would be another shop below and gym

What is the best feature of your home:

Looks nice and the furniture was cheap but looked not bad at all

Good development

Joao Pedro Pereira (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Oaklands Rise, NW10

Feb 2025

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

It is pretty central and close-ish to 2 tube stations. However, there are just a few commodities around (not a lot of shops, barbers, etc.)

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

N/A. They were very open during the process. I would just add that was not expecting people would be so dirty in the communal areas.

What is the best feature of your home:

Isolation of the heat. The brightness that the big windows provide

Excellent public transport links

Patrick M (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Notting Hill Genesis at Woodberry Down, N4

Feb 2025

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

Excellent public transport links. Tube 2 minutes walk, 5 bus routes as well. Consistent bin collections. Not much anti-social behaviour from personal experience. A few nice places to eat close by. Parking availability limited, but very strong public transport links. Woodberry Wetlands, a local nature reserve, is a real asset. Finsbury Park and Clissold Park also very close by. In terms of safety, the area probably isn't hugely safe after dark 9 or 10 at night (in my opinion), so just use your common sense.

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

How well insulated it is. I came from a cold flat and it is genuinely life changing. I don't remember the last time I needed to put on the heating, probably a couple of years ago. This also means lower energy use therefore cheaper bills.

What is the best feature of your home:

Probably the fact that it's so well insulated. Plus the location, within reach of central London in 15 minutes.
