Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Broomhall, Sheffield

Not a bad neighbourhood. Building is secure (if the front door is fixed). Its close by to the town and both unis.

The area is really nice and close to both universities, plus the neighbours are really nice and helpful. It’s pretty close to the city centre, supermarkets and shops. Although it’s on a popular walkway between both unis, so there’s some drunk chaos at 2am on weekends.

Everyone around is lovely and a cheerful area, shame to have this wide boy there. Essex grown that Sheffield could do without.

Nice area on main road - surrounded by many ammentities which is useful and close to both uni

Really close to university and the shops - the only good thing about this accommodation.

Local area had a corner shop and was within walking distance to the supermarket. Near the city centre too. High crime rate was sometimes an issue, along with other anti-social behaviour.

Mostly families in the area so not too loud overnight.
Inside the ring road within 5 minutes of devonshire green and the city centre, as well as 5 minutes from the university.
Right next to the ring road so could hear cars and ambulances at all hours.
Walking from the city centre/devonshire green can be a bit dodgy as it is not well lit - would advise taking the long route via west street between 10pm and 5am

The street is absolutely gorgeous and you're a stone's throw from Ecclesall Rd. Two mins from the Hallam Collegiate Campus and approx 20 mins from the University of Sheffield. Only minus one star for difficulties with neighbours who we felt resented the fact that we were students renting on the street (despite us all being postgraduates - we felt like they made their mind up about us before they met us).

Broomhall appears much worse than it is, run down in places but a community feel more so than other studenty areas. Convenient for town, eccy road and the universities and hospitals

Convenient as it is located on West Street. 4 minutes away from the University Library.

I really love living in Broomhall, in my opinion it is the best area of Sheffield to live in as a student, as it is close to the centre of town and uni, and is close to a number of shops (Aldi)

Nice area close to uni. Could have been better if it was closer to more shops, not just the coop which was expensive.

Student friendly, really close to bars/Tesco so cheap shop. A Hallam student area but not too far for Uni Of.

The neighbourhood was not the best but we felt safe until the flat that we raised issues about due to drug abuse problems had the front door propped open and were allowing the public to wander round the flat block.

Near to university and university gym, easy access to public transport, one small supermarket nearby

Was close to the university and in a convenient area right next to a main road. Bus stop right outside, but overlooked by a really big hospital with lots of ambulance sirens.
