We might be biassed, but we think West London stands out as the ideal choice for young families looking for a place of their own - offering a blend of excellent schools, a vibrant community atmosphere and gorgeous apartments.

 

Understanding your family’s needs - space and layout

Quintain Living offers an impressive selection of apartment options designed with families in mind.

Boasting open-plan layouts perfect for game nights and private terraces for outdoor fun from your home, the list of thoughtful amenities that blend comfort with convenience makes it easy for families to find their perfect space in the heart of Wembley Park

Extending beyond family-friendly apartments, the vibrant and private social spaces in and around every Quintain Living building ensure safety and convenience for you and your little ones, making it a standout choice for families seeking quality, comfort and a sense of belonging in their new neighbourhood.

 

 

Family-friendly amenities

 

Moving with a busy family means easy to use amenities that are ready to go when you first move in are a must. At Quintain Living, high-speed WiFi is working from the moment you arrive, meaning moving in is easy - you can put on your kids TV show or work from home from day one. All your utilities are also set up and ready when you move in and on one itemised bill, meaning less faff and more time settling your kids into their new home.

 

Community and social spaces

 

With young children in mind, outdoor space that’s safe and private is a key consideration. At Quintain Living, our multiple communal gardens, roof terraces and social spaces are secure and have controlled access. You can let your kids run around and know that they are in an enclosed and safe space. Almost all of our apartments have a balcony, many of which overlook the gardens, so your family will always have access to outdoor space. These areas also serve as natural gathering spots, encouraging friendship between kids and fellow parents.

 

 

In-building play areas

 

As well as our social spaces, many of our buildings contain brilliant in-building play areas. These beautifully designed areas are right on your doorstep and will help spark your kids' imaginations. There are green spaces for everyone but specifically play parks for kids- both indoor and outdoor. Canada Gardens contains Emily’s Playhouse (pictured above) -an indoor play space containing kids games and activities in a fun and bright space. Canada Gardens also has an outdoor pirate ship for children to play on and take a look at Madison where you’ll find a tree-house style area your kids explore for hours.

 

Community Events.

 

Our resident exclusive events have become a staple of life here at Quintain Living. There are a huge variety of activities to choose from, with special events designed for children that will keep them entertained for hours. In 2023, we had a whole host of events such as a summer party with Sofar Sounds, a Halloween Pet Parade and a kids art club that takes place every half term.
