Luxury waterfront flats with private gym, yoga classes and 'wine and cheese nights'

A development of luxury flats on Liverpool's waterfront was named the "best place to live" in the entire city.

The Keel, which is located on a private quay on Queen’s Dock, was converted from the former HMRC offices into a complex of waterside apartments in 2015.

Complete with its own private gym and other plush features, the development also runs events for residents including yoga classes, wine and cheese nights and virtual cook-a-longs.

Apartments inside The Keel are only available to renters - and the development has just been crowned the best place to live in Liverpool.

It nabbed first place for apartment living in Liverpool in a vote by residents and reviewers on HomeViews, a residential development review site.

Located on Liverpool's stunning waterfront and within walking distance to the city centre, the location is perfect for renters who want to balance city living with a more serene home life.

The development also offers residents a calendar of regular social activities including online yoga classes, wine and cheese nights and virtual cook-a-longs.

Inside, the modern apartments boast a number of impressive onsite facilities including a residents-only gym and on-site cycle and car parking.

Reviewers gave the residential development an overall score of 4.54 stars out of 5, with its waterfront location receiving a 4.77.

One resident said: "Absolutely beautiful area with a view of the river and the city".

Another said: "You couldn’t get a better location and lovely riverside walkway on doorstep".

The development is about to undergo a £300,000 redesign that will include an "exclusive residents' lounge" and a "state of the art co-working space" to cater to the rise in home working.

Joseph Cooper, general manager at The Keel, commented: “We were delighted to discover that we took the top spot for apartment living in Liverpool on HomeViews. The management team and I take great pride in ensuring our residents’ experience is the best it can be.

“With amazing facilities such as our onsite gym and calendar of social events The Keel offers a community for those who live here, however, it is often our amazing location that residents are first to shout up about.

"With views over the River Mersey or the private Queens Dock offering tranquillity, it is easy to forget you are in bustling Liverpool, even if we are just a few minutes walk from the exciting Baltic Triangle.”

He added: “The management team and I love receiving resident feedback and can’t wait to see the residents’ reactions to the new renovations to the common areas. We are always looking for ways to improve and will keep a close eye on HomeViews to make sure we stay at that top position."

The development contains 240 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments which are only available to rent.
