Circus West Village

Great restaurants and riverboat pier

Great place to live but not worth the high rent and issues, some quite serious. You pay for amenities and the bragging rights. You have no real control over your bills and the standing charge for the heating and cooling system is 60 a month. If you use it marginally you're looking at 100 a month. Our letting agent wasn't aware of this cost before we moved in so it was a nasty surprise. The winter garden is pretty much useless. There's no plugs so you have to run an extension line and leave the door open. It's freezing at night and a green house when the sun is out. Single glass windows and large vents means the noise from the train tracks is loud. If your flat is high up the view is incredible though. You'll never tire of that. There's a serious issue of parcels getting stolen. Deliveries leave packages either in the foyer or outside your front door without knocking. You can instruct them to deliver to concierge but they don't always listen. This happens with food deliveries too. The expensive heating and cooling system often breaks. Especially in the summer when the flat becomes a hot box. The taps constantly get blocked due to the heavy limescale. Soaking the tap heads in limescale remover is a monthly task. Gym is great. Has everything you need and the gym staff are brilliant. Down side is it's tiny! Think hotel gym that plays coffee shop music. Other residents are generally really friendly and there is a sense of community here.

Bit of a dump. A few flash flats don't make a nice area
