Fresh, The Gorge

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

the local area is so lovely , Waitrose is two mins away and town centre is about 15 min walk. Its close to the hospital for work and the area is lovely. Magdelen road has lots of cute independent shops and good coffee. The only downside would be street noise however this is very minimal, i personally have never been effected by it. parking isnt offered at the gorge however there is a two hour bay just up the road and a free road for parking about 15 mins away. there are also options to pay for parking permits for Triangle car park which is about 5 mins away. there is a bus stop two mins from the Gorge to get anywhere in Exeter if you don't want to walk. Bins are managed by the team here so all you need to do is put your waste in the bin store which is secure.

Living in co-living studios in Exeter is generally very good and convenient.

It is close to the city centre, shops, restaurants, and public transport, so everything is within easy reach. Transport links are good, with regular buses and easy access around Exeter. The area is usually safe and pleasant to live in. On the downside, rent can be quite expensive and rooms are quite small. Parking is limited and the city centre can sometimes be busy or noisy.

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

The building is very modern and well managed, communal areas can sometimes get busy at peak times, especially the gym and lounges. Another useful tip is that parking is very limited and can be expensive, so it’s better to rely on public transport if possible. Overall, it’s a very convenient and comfortable place to live, but being prepared for the smaller space and high demand for shared facilities helps a lot.

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

Very close to the city centre. No designated parking and the prices of laundry are probably the biggest let down. Whenever I have had a maintenance issue, the staff have been quick to respond and fix it.

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

I have had a few issues that have required maintenance however, the staff are always quick to address it. If it cannot be fixed immediately, every apologetic and often allow you to use a spare room until the problems can be resolved.

The parking situation is a real problem. Most people moving in need space to unload their cars and you are told to rely on the Waitrose car park across the road to do this. The website and tour need to be more specific about the parking situation.
