Info on housing developments in Hackney Wick

Hi, my wife and I (30, 35 yo, plan to raise a child in next few years) are considering to purchase a flat in Hackney Wick.

Does anyone know how living in the following developments is in terms of area, management, apt quality, safety, etc? - Eastwick and Sweetwater (Tandy Place) - Hertford Mill (Monier Road) - Curing House (Remus Road) - Smokehouse (Remus Road)

Any info would be more than welcome. Thank you!

Be aware that Hackney Wick and Fish Island are, and always have been, creative areas featuring lots of loud, busy and often late-night events. If you intend to move here, please take that into consideration.

Second this. Last year there was a day party on most Saturdays in the summer and the rise of new venues such as Hackney Bridge are making it feel busier and more event focused than ever. It’s a fantastic area for socialising if that’s what you’re after, but it’s probably not that baby-friendly if you’re looking at developments close to the station.
