"Everything is at your doorstep from spas, tailors, butchers, supermarkets and so many fantastic restaurants. It's full of life and you really see it when walking around the lake or park. I love the fact that animals are welcome here and everyone is out walking, jogging or doing yoga in the parks morning and evening."
