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

This is a prime location for anyone who works in the city. There are plenty of shopping locations as well as restaurants and bars in the surrounding area. There are travel links near-by which makes getting around the city/ in and out of the city very easy. Me and my partner also work very close by which allows for a very convenient work/social life balance.

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

Certain free to use facilities we were told about are not currently in use (such as the ice machine). We believe this is due to a small portion of the property currently being occupied but it was a slight disappointment to see it out of use during the summer.

Modern, Well-Managed Building with Excellent Facilities

Polly (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Gessner, N17

Apr 2025

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

Great transport links with Tube and National Rail nearby. Quiet despite being by a main road thanks to excellent soundproofing. Few cafes, but a great one opened in our building. Lovely park for walks. Easy and well-organized waste sorting. Safe, clean area with helpful building staff.

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

The building management team was exceptional. Anytime we had an issue - whether it was a question about deliveries, billing, or general building maintenance - they responded almost immediately. Imran was especially helpful, always on-site, friendly, and ready to assist with anything we needed. He even helped us with printing, provided moving boxes when we were leaving, and followed up to make sure everything was resolved. The team genuinely cared about residents and made us feel supported at all times.

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

One thing we wish we had known before moving in is that the area, while very convenient for transport and daily essentials, doesn’t have many cafes or restaurants nearby. It’s something you might not notice during a viewing, but we found ourselves wishing for more local dining options. Thankfully, a fantastic specialty coffee shop opened inside the building during our stay - we became such regulars, they basically knew our orders by heart.

The apartment is very convenient located near a supermarket. The area also feel safe to live in, which is important to me being a woman. However, transport isn’t easy.

My way of life in Tottenham Hale

Gigi (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Gessner, N17

Apr 2025

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

I have lived here for four years, from brand new. I absolutely love it! I like the diverse and multicultural population. The range of star rated restaurants are not easy to find within walking distance. However, with the excellent transport link, one can easily travel to nearby locations for services that are not yet available here. The retail park provides a range of well known shops, supermarkets and cafes , which are handy for shopping and recuperation. Oh, we also have our very own (Dear Coco) cafe in our building with a shared comfortable lounge area. We are close to a very nice park with a community cafe, sport courts/activity hub and children's play areas. There is the canal, Walthamstow Wetlands, and Tottenham mashes, all of which provide beautiful walks and picnic areas. The downside is that caution should be taken when visiting these areas at certain times of the day as personal safety could be an issue. Generally, the area is well lit and safe to walk home from the station at night. Occasionally there is a bit of rowdiness on match days. Traffic is heavy most of the time and with that comes noise but we get use to it. Limited free roadside parking but allocated prepaid parking can be purchased. Excellent Bin collection facility. The area is still developing but overall, it is a good location to live in and once all the regeneration work is completed, a new community will emerge.

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

With speed and efficiency. I recently moved to another flat within the same building. The service I received from Benedek, Kitti and Imran in particular, was second to none. Constantine and Mustafa also played a huge part in addressing my needs.

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

Had I known that the rent would rise as fast as it did, I probably would not have moved here.
