What Our Residents Say About Life at John Willis House

"The main thing I love about living at John Willis House is the security of the building-main doors and communal areas are fob access only. I enjoy interacting with other tenants and attending activities in the communal lounge."

"The security of the building is what I value most-fob access to the main doors and communal areas (when they're working!). I enjoy organising events throughout the year, and it's been lovely to see more tenants joining in-especially those who never used to come down. It's no longer just the same small group using the lounge."

"I absolutely love living here. My flat is so warm during the winter, and the heating is included in my service charges-so I don't have to worry about the cost. That's a big plus for me."
