Just arrived so can't speak too much about the area but it seems quite nice. There's a large park next to the building and the station isn't far. And the ASDA and Tesco are great stores and nearby.

Haven't needed to involve management for any issues but there's an app for maintenance requests.

Still exploring the area but I didn't know the market was open nearly every day which is nice. And there a lot of bus routes which is also great.

I just wanted to take a moment to share how much I appreciate living at Lyons Dock. The development is always spotless and beautifully maintained, with a real sense of care that comes through in every detail. The staff are consistently responsive and helpful, which makes such a difference day to day. I feel incredibly safe here, and I love how everything I need is within walking distance. There’s a real buzz to the community, with regular events that bring people together and make the place feel truly alive.

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

We had quick responses to any of the challenges that we have faced.

All problem solved very fast at any time of the day due to on-site maintenance and security team

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

Not much anti-social behaviour that I've noticed, always something going on in the area like the market or events, Barking station is less than 10 minutes walk from the flat.

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

No major issues, except when I couldn't receive a package in time and it had to be returned to sender. But reception had communicated via email they wouldn't be there in advance so it wasn't anyone's fault really. Other than that, no issues.

The area has a lot more going on than expected, which can be both a plus and a minus. Depending on what your vibe is and what you're after in your community.
