Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Sheffield

The best thing about the area is the location. It is really close to both university campuses and only about a fifteen minute walk into the city centre. However, the area can feel a bit unsafe at times, especially at night. There were a few situations where I didn’t feel entirely comfortable walking home. Noise was also an issue on some streets, depending on your neighbours and how busy the road is. The houses in Highfield can be quite hit or miss. Some are fine, but a lot are quite old or badly maintained. It really depends on your landlord and the exact street.

Good area with loads of students and good places nearby to eat and drink

Great area to live in.

Loved the area. Very green and perfect for walking to the city or Sharrow and Endcliffe as well as the unis.

Lovely area, lots of green space near by and very close to the train station which makes it easy to get around.

Nice place to live, only downsides are parking can be a bit hard to find, though you will almost always find somewhere, and if you are on the main roads, the studens can be loud on friday nights!

The area was next to the city centre so not bad

Only positive is near to town centre

Very nice quiet neighbourhood. Not too far from shops.

Very nice student area. Good range of shops nearby and not far from the centre.
