The Apiary, W5

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

The location couldn’t be better. The building overlooks Ealing Broadway station which has direct access to District, Central and Elizabeth lines. The Ealing Broadway shopping center is 1 minute walk away and has almost every store you could possible need. The neighborhood can be busy but The Apiary is situated back off the street and can only be accessed by residents or delivery (e.g. Amazon).

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

Vesa has requested a 3rd washer and dryer be installed which will be a 50% increase. She has also dealt with noisy tenants politely. Vesa and Joshua put their heart and soul into keeping us residents safe and comfortable.

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

Some apartments are rented to a local educational facility so their occupants change frequently. These short term let’s do not contribute to the building feeling like a home as the people who live there are not on a 12 month lease and are not invested in making The Apiary a community.
