Peabody

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

Anti social behaviour , delivery drivers bike stolen outside the flats. Given one month notice for controlled parking permits which gives no option to people with more then one car. Not all of us work in the city and have no other option. The whole road is controlled by the building site which causes hardship to get in and out of the road, makes noise well past 6pm some days and are bringing in cranes at 5.30am with council approval. Construction workers think they are in charge and give little regard to those that live here and just want to get home.

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

Wish we’d known about how long and how much of a disturbance the building work opposite would be. Also mainly that they were going to only allow one car per household. No idea what we will do as one of our vehicles is a work one which only has three seats and has to be close to the flat for security. The other is a family car and I do not feel comfortable parking it up in Sanford in Thames by the mental health hospital. Transport links from littlemore not good enough to get rid of a car for our family. The ltns are a real nuisance and would love to see scientific proof that they have benefited the environment around litleemore/east Oxford.

What is the best feature of your home:

The large windows and view of the river. Some nice plants

The local area is very vibrant and buzzy. The location is very central. It can be quite noisy at times.

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

I wish I’d known how much service charge would increase.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location is very central. The views from the top of the building are amazing.

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

It's a lovely neighbourhood with lovely neighbours and lots of young families. We've got a couple of major supermarkets not too far away. Although we're quite near to the ring road the double glazing is very good. I like that it's on the edge of the city.

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

I really wish I'd known about service charges and rental increases. And I wish I'd known about the reputation of Peabody and Catalyst.

What is the best feature of your home:

I like that it's a modern home that doesn't need any fixing whatsoever and has three floors. Our garden is a good size. We have a really big drive.

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

More restaurants are coming to life in the area, most of them are italian food, area is lovely any day with special events around, but noise levels are quite low cause no big traffic or road close to the flat with close distance to lots of green spaces and parks

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

When commercial units at ground level to be occupied

What is the best feature of your home:

Lots of light to all habitable spaces and great views to both canal and public square
