Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Sheffield

Area was great. Good transport and schools. Close by to shop, supermarkets and pharmacies.

Mostly a student area. 10 mins from both broomhill and crookesmoor shops. 15 mins from university. 5 mins from university gym. felt safe walking around the main road at night as good lighting and plenty of other students walking around too.

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 area is convenient. It is close to the shops in both directions. It’s not a very nice place to be at night. It’s right next to Corp nightclub (a pro or a con, you decide).

It’s a quiet and safe area. Friendly neighbours and lots of professionals in the area.

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).

Great transport links. Next-door to SPAR and a three minute walk from Tesco. Maybe a fifteen minute walk from Broomhill. This area feels very "residential" and not student-y at all - depending on your background this can be a good or a bad thing! Crosspool is nice enough but a bit sedate. Think this location would be great for somebody who wants a place which is convenient, but quiet.

About a fifteen minute walk from the Hallam campus, five-ten minutes' walk from Sainsbury's on Ecclesall Rd. and other amenities. Street itself is very green, although traffic is horrendous as people use it as a "short-cut" to avoid Ecclesall Road. There is a patch of parking space which doesn't require a permit (!) directly outside the property, unlike most streets in the area.

Lived in Broomhill. Our street was very nice (Parkers Road). Had a bus stop at the end of the road and we were a 2 minute walk from the shops in Broomhill.

The neighbourhood is the best part of the house within walking distance to the sheffield uni, tesco, morrisons, sainsburys, etc.
