The Almere, MK9

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

The positives living here are the local amenities on the doorstep being in close proximity to the Sainsbury’s and a wide range of restaurants is very convenient. We would also like to say it has a very good feel everyone is very friendly and if we wanted quiet that’s ok if we want to mix we can do that too. We don’t hear any noise either. The downside I would say is parking although it is offered for a price it can be extremely expensive if you had two cars.

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

Yes as I have said nothing has been an issue if they have been busy they will always come back later that day!

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

After one viewing we knew that it would be a very sociable place to live. Having a dog can also be a great way of making new friends. Having a community board is also a great way of getting to know your neighbours, activities too would be a fab way of getting to know people.

It's in a great place to be as centre MK is a 5 minute walk and you have Bannatynes gym right next door. You can get to London in about 35 minutes from the station which is not far from The Almere either so great when you work there a couple days a week.

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

They have an app where you can raise a maintenance request if anything isn't working and any requests i have made has been dealt with on the same day which is great. The maintenance team are on site so it's nice to have a familiar face in your apartment instead of loads of different contractors.

So happy with my apartment at The Almere. Even though it's near the centre and by the hub, it is so lovely and quiet! It's so peaceful in my apartment. There's a massive Sainsbury's across the road and lots of shops near by which is really helpful. The Almere team are all so friendly and helpful. It means a lot to come home to a smiley face and a hello after a long day!
