One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how well-managed and friendly the community is—it’s a great place to live! Also, the local transport links are incredibly convenient, making commuting easy. A helpful tip for new neighbors: parking spaces can fill up quickly in the evenings, so securing a spot earlier is a good idea. Overall, the area has exceeded expectations in terms of comfort, safety, and amenities.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I am staying in Merlin Wharf from last one year and and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. The day I moved in, I was impressed by the ambience, amenities, and the overall atmosphere of the community. The Merlin Wharf apartment is close to City Center, Londis, Tesco Super store, St Margaret's bus station, Abbey park, Castle garden, DMU Leisure center all very nearby (10 mins by walk). So many restaurants nearby by, a very happening place.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any requests I’ve submitted were handled on time and efficiently. From my experience I must say the staff here are very experienced and skillful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I was well informed by Merkel and Sapna about all facilities and relevant documents was shared with me to navigate within the premise. Recently they have completed a recreation room, adjacent to Gym which I liked it very much.
