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

It’s a pretty central location so it’s a walking distance from most of the city centres hot spots. Very close to a Co-op, a Tesco, and a Sainsbury’s for grocery shopping. Only a 5 minute walk to Bullring.

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

They were very attentive and accommodating. I had some personal issues which caused a delay in confirming whether I’d be renewing my contract and was shocked by how understanding the management team was. They played it by ear and let me stay as long as possible before I had to make up my mind. They definitely went over and beyond what I could have expected or asked for.

Honestly, the only complaint I have is about increasing the level of cleanliness in the areas I mentioned. Otherwise I really loved living here. However, you might want to try actually sitting on the living and dining room furniture to see if you find them comfortable!

I love living on this street! The local shops, restaurants, and bars offer a great mix of independent and well-known brands, providing everything you need within a short walk. There’s a fantastic variety of cuisines and cozy spots to grab a drink or coffee. The nearby parks and open spaces are perfect for relaxing or staying active, making it a great place for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Transport links are highly convenient, with easy access to bus routes and trains that connect to major areas quickly. However, traffic can build up during peak hours, but it's generally manageable. Bin collections are prompt and reliable, keeping the area clean. The neighborhood is quiet, with minimal traffic noise, and anti-social behavior is very rare. Overall, it's a great place to live – safe, vibrant, and well-connected!

While the garden facility at Allegro Living is a lovely space for relaxation, it could benefit from some enhancements. Adding more seating areas and shaded spots would encourage residents to spend more time outdoors. Additionally, incorporating more diverse plant life and flowers could create a more vibrant and inviting atmosphere. Regular maintenance to keep the garden tidy and flourishing would also enhance the overall experience for residents. Overall, these improvements could transform the garden into a cherished community hub
