Good day! We have lived on Bowens Wood ever since it was built in 1980 and never felt the need to move. There's only the two of us (no kids - only two cats who don't take up much space - so we did not need extra space) and we like it here for the quietness and being close to town and country. Also we don't need to worry much about our cats getting into trouble as they are far from the road and that's a cul-de-sac anyway. Houses are reasonably well designed and placed and we loved the number of mature trees being retained - plenty more have matured since.
I've been involved in our Management Company since we took it over about 1984 and like the idea of having some influence over what happens immediately around us, also that about half our ground is in common rather than individual ownership. The only disappointment is that only few owners are willing to get involved - we've only had one or two contested elections for trustees in our history, most of the time we were just grateful to get enough volunteers to fill the five trustee posts we got.
That's me for the moment, more may develop in discussion.
Cheers!
