I love the location and the fact that a park is 5mins away. With plenty of local amenities and easy access into central it's one of the best locations to live. Can't really say there's anything I dislike about the area.the atmosphere in the local area is similar to that of a residential area towards the outskirts of London. The neighbours are friendly and there's never any disputes. The area is great for children and pets with parks nearby and it feels safe. Even at night you don't feel like you need to look over your shoulder.
Transport
The transport links are always great and convenient. The location means you can easily get to anywhere in greater London usually within 45mins. Plenty of bus routes to take you in any direction and usually the buses will come at least every 10mins. Transport is always usually clean and reliable and there's rarely traffic. Unfortunately the closest overground station is around 20mins walk which isn't the worst. However as there's no off road parking there's no dedicated cycle lanes.

Parking availability is usually fine. Sometimes you just need to park down the street and walk for a minute so that's not too much of a problem. Bin collection is fine and they're able to remove waste so that there's not excess lying around the street. There are quite a few cases of antisocial behaviour on the council estate on the part of the street but of my 25 years living on the street, I've never had any issues. I believe it's half and half between renters and owners. With the half that's renting, the flats belong to housing associations. Majority of the people on my street are families.
Amenities
There are plenty of corner shops and amenities in the local area. You can find some form of takeaway, a pharmacy, cafes, post office, launderette and a few upscale restaurants and bars if you'd prefer to enjoy an evening out. Paddington recreational grounds is a short walk which you'll usually find quite busy, with exits leading out towards Maida Vale, Kilburn or Chippenham, it's always a popular park to take a stroll.
A bit of regeneration would probably make it even nicer in the future.
A bit of regeneration would probably make it even nicer in the future. It is trendy already and diverse though.
Transport
Very easy to reach Edgware Road, lots of buses and access to Boris bikes. All regular and quite easy to catch. Too much traffic sometimes, but in general everything is perfect.
Community
A bit of traffic noise is always present because of how busy the road is. No issues with anti-social behaviour or bar noise. Lots of students and families in the area too with amazing diversity.
Amenities
Absolutely everything. Lots of good dinner places and bars, including pubs or gardens where you can drink. One of the nicest areas for all kinds of food, such as Thai, Vietnamese. We need more fast food places I guess?
here's some antisocial behaviour in some parts of the W9 area, for example around Paddington Recreational ground
The area is quiet but there's not a lot of things to do around the area and overall feels a better area for families than young professionals. People around the area have a lot of pets and I'd recommend the area for families with children and pets.
Transport
Maida Vale and Warwick avenue stations both serve bakerloo line with easy access to Paddington or Oxford Circus and rarely gets crowded. There's a lot of busses available going to major stations across the London and are overall very reliable. The area has multiple stations with Boris bikes.

Amenities
There's a small number of shops, restaurants and bars in the area, and larger supermarkets within commutable distance. Elgin and Gail's near the Maida Vale tube station are very popular, and offer a good selection of coffee & brunch items. Elgin is a relatively trendy pub.
In need of regeneration and a better atmosphere

Most like: it's quiet and good amentities (Park). It's close to church street market were you can get fruit and vegetables for a cheap price.
