It's worth noting that while the development is still expanding, there are construction activities. However, this does not significantly impact the overall tranquillity and appeal of the area.

Tattenhoe Park offers a modern and peaceful environment with a good range of local amenities. The area has well-maintained green spaces, ideal for families and outdoor activities. Nearby shops and restaurants are just a short drive away. However, parking on the street can be a challenge due to limited spaces, and bin collections occasionally face delays. While the area is generally quiet, we have minor disturbances during peak hours due to traffic on the surrounding roads.

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

They have been very slow in responding to maintenance issues. However, they have been trying to fix the issues.

I wish I had known about the traffic issues caused by the nearby school during peak hours—it can be dreadful at times. Additionally, due to ongoing construction in the area, the roads are not in great condition and are full of potholes, which can be frustrating for drivers.

Really great place to live it's close to everything you would need. The centre MK is about 5 mins walk and the train station is only about 10 mins. There are always lime bikes or scooters outside the front which is handy if you don't drive but need to get about.

It's in a great place to be as centre MK is a 5 minute walk and you have Bannatynes gym right next door. You can get to London in about 35 minutes from the station which is not far from The Almere either so great when you work there a couple days a week.

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

They have an app where you can raise a maintenance request if anything isn't working and any requests i have made has been dealt with on the same day which is great. The maintenance team are on site so it's nice to have a familiar face in your apartment instead of loads of different contractors.
