Modern city living with balcony and parking near CMK station.
Allocated off-street parking for one car
This well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Dakota House sits in the heart of Milton Keynes’ vibrant "The Hub", ideal for a first-time buyer seeking instant access to the city centre. The apartment offers an open-plan living area with a private balcony, an allocated parking space and lift access within a modern, purpose-built block. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, supporting home working and streaming.
Practical running costs should be noted: service charge is about £2,784 per year (£232pcm), plus a £150 annual ground rent. The property is leasehold with 106 years remaining. Heating is on a community mains-gas scheme and the building benefits from double glazing installed post-2002. Council Tax band B is relatively cheap.
The location is a genuine draw: a short walk to Central Milton Keynes shopping, restaurants and CMK train station, with plentiful local amenities and cultural venues nearby. The immediate neighbourhood is an inner-city, multicultural, student-dominated area — lively and well served, but potentially busy and noisy at times. Reported crime levels for the area are very high, which prospective buyers should factor into security and insurance considerations.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer wanting a modern, low-maintenance city base with good transport links and private parking. It offers sensible long-term potential for owner-occupation or letting, provided you accept the service charges, communal heating arrangement and the urban character of the location.
