Pros

Very convenient to supermarket, library, transport etc. Friendly staff and residents

Cons

Committee speaks for all residents instead of having a referendum. Decisions are made by small minority. Not good practice.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

Do something about upgrading long term resident's apartments. Very shabby after many years wear and tear.

Pros

Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Very helpful staff, especially maintenance personnel. Lovely gardens and private areas.

Cons

Building is now 22 years old and things like lifts etc break down. Sometimes we have the water off for upgrades. Normal maintenance .

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

Some maintenance to long standing resident's apartments could be considered especially as 30% is taken off price originally paid. ie : 22 year old carpet replaced.
