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

Good aspects: quiet, excellent views of a leafy London and Alexandra Palace (assuming you're on the second floor or above). An excellent convenience store nearby. Transport links aren't bad (15 min walk from Wood Green or White Hart Lane stations, with a bus stop right outside the development also) Bad: limited shops, restaurants and bars. Items from the mailroom are often stolen.

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

They installed a fake camera in the mailroom following my complaint of package thefts. After informing them that this has not been an effective deterrent, they replied that there is nothing else they can do.

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

For DIY purposes, it would have been useful to know where the wiring and joists were behind the walls/ceiling!

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

We live above a Nisa which is very convenient for food. There is a bus that goes right outside the flat to the tube station. There is a lot of traffic and the flat is close to a difficult junction which creates queues and collisions. There are nice parks close by.

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

Yes but they have been short term fixes. They have tried to tackle the rubbish situation but it there are still issues.

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

The neighbours are nice! There is a lot of rubbish though
