Arbour, MK9

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

Living in MK9 1FW has been a great experience. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Central Milton Keynes with access to a wide range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment spots just a short walk away. There are plenty of open green spaces nearby, including Campbell Park, which is perfect for a weekend walk or picnic. Transport links are excellent, with the train station just 10–15 minutes away on foot, and lots of buses connecting different areas of the city. The street is quiet and clean, with reliable bin collections and decent parking options. I haven’t encountered any major issues with noise or anti-social behaviour.

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

Building management has been quick and helpful whenever I’ve reported minor maintenance issues. Response time is fast and always professional.

overall is good and recommend. just one thing I wish I had known is how fast these apartments get taken—if you like it, act quickly! Also, make sure you’re clear on how the parking permits work if you plan to have a car, as there are limited spaces directly available with some units.
