Queen's Square Apartments in Belfast?

interestedoutsider

I'm curious - does anyone know much about the Queen's Square apartments in Belfast?

More specifically, about where does it fit in the ranking of desirable developments to own an apartment in Belfast city centre?

It seems based on the prices and what I've gathered from reading/talking to people, that you have:
* "Best" places - St Annes, Custom House Square, ARC, Victoria Square
* Middling places - Obel, some of the older riverside developments
* The lower end of the spectrum - College Central, some of the developments on Adelaide Street, etc.

Now I understand Queen's Square is older than the "best" places I have listed above so the apartments won't be as modern spec inside, but in terms of "nice-ness" (I'm thinking overall build quality, quality of life, the types of people living there) does anyone know if it would be up there with the nicer developments in the city centre?

It's Ok. Just Ok.


It's been up for 15 years now and apartments tend to get a bit grotty and dated. Good location though apart from the fact parking is a bit of a bother and their aren't many supermarkets about after 6pm.


I'd say custom house is the best for finish, queens square isn't really that well done. The are loads of other blocks about, all have pluses and minuses. Victoria sq is mostly social housing I hear. St. Anne's is small and Arc is out of the way. Wouldn't touch Obel, basically all renters.

Thanks for getting back to me saverbuyer.

Are your reasons for saying just ok basically the reasons you gave, or anything else?

Do you think these places can go downhill in terms of the people they attract as they get older? (ie. people who don't take care of public areas, make noise, etc.)
