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

It’s all good. Was properly checked on regarding my wellbeing and it’s really close to Stratford and canary whenever I’d love to go for food especially dinner also close to the shops!

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

The building management has been very responsive, addressing issues promptly and effectively. They communicate clearly about the status of repairs and ensure that concerns are resolved to residents' satisfaction. Their proactive approach fosters a positive living environment.

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

Additionally, I learned that the community hosts regular events, which are a great way to meet neighbors and build connections. I recommend new residents participate in these gatherings to quickly feel at home. Lastly, understanding the parking situation better would have been beneficial, as it can get busy during weekends. Overall, being proactive in getting to know the community can greatly enhance the living experience.

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

I stayed there with my family for couple of days , the view of city, amenities as well the quality of products provided is impeccable. The tube and grocery store is just around the corner being cherry on the cake for your stay.

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

Initially , it was quite skeptical probably it was weekend then. Later, every query was dealt promptly.

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

Everything was informed prior, though i was a bit surprised to see the property being exactly the same as in pictures.

I haven’t encountered any problems with the property yet.

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

I wasn’t aware how long the underfloor heating takes to warm up, but it is good when left on at a low level and seems relatively cheap to run.

“Modern Living with Great Facilities but Room for Improvement

Chen (Tenant)

Riverstone Heights, E3

Feb 2025

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

Living in this area has both advantages and drawbacks. The local shops and restaurants offer a decent variety, with some great cafés and international cuisine, though high-end options are limited. There are a few nice green spaces nearby, making it easy to relax outdoors. Transport links are generally convenient, with buses and trains running frequently, though peak-hour congestion can be an issue. My street is relatively quiet, but parking is limited, and bin collections can sometimes be inconsistent. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to live, but there’s room for improvement in transport .

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

The building management is generally responsive but can be slow in addressing maintenance issues. While they do eventually resolve problems, communication could be more efficient, and urgent requests often take longer than expected. Improvements in responsiveness would enhance the living experience.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that property management can be slow to respond to maintenance requests, which can be frustrating for urgent issues. Additionally, parking spaces are quite limited, so securing a spot in advance is essential. Also, while the area is generally quiet, occasional noise from nearby roads or communal areas can be noticeable at times. New residents should also be aware that bin collection schedules can be inconsistent, so staying on top of waste disposal is important.
