High-floor one-bedroom with balcony, amenities and excellent transport links.
19th-floor apartment with expansive River Lea and Olympic Park views
Set on the 19th floor of River Heights, this one-bedroom apartment (approx. 550 sq ft) offers wide views across the River Lea, Olympic Park and Village plus a private balcony for outdoor space. The interior is finished to a high standard with large windows, contemporary fittings and a practical open-plan living area that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking strong transport links.
Residents benefit from on-site concierge, a gym and landscaped roof gardens, adding convenience and communal outdoor space without leaving the building. Stratford’s retail and leisure hub — including Westfield Stratford City, cinemas, restaurants and cultural venues — is a short walk away, and Stratford International, Jubilee Line and DLR provide fast connections across London; St Pancras is around six minutes by train.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (approximately 990 years remaining) and carries a service charge of about £4,800 per year, which is above average and will affect running costs and yield calculations. The local area is described as an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with pockets of deprivation; nearby schools are mixed in performance, so check suitability if local schooling is essential.
Overall this apartment offers a compact, well-specified home in one of east London’s best-connected developments. It’s a solid choice for a commuter wanting a low-maintenance base or an investor targeting rental demand from students, professionals and visitors to Stratford, provided the annual service charge and local-area considerations fit your budget and plans.
