Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Sheffield

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

Netherthorpe is a okay area to live in near to Kelham Island and it doesn’t take long to get to the centre of Sheffield with a tram stop and regular buses on your doorstep

Area is lovely. It's exactly where we wanted to live as we're all students and it's right in the main student area of Sheffield.

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.

I love nether edge and the street is lovely which is why this whole situation was such a shame. The downside was that lots of the landlords family live on the same street which made us feel quite intimidated once he became angry.

Great. Near the park, bus route, lovely neighbours. Buses could be a little bit noisy but hardly noticeable.

A bit dodgy - graffiti on the windows, kids hanging out smoking on my doorstop, or rattling the door at night. Great for shops and restaurants though, and I always got on well with the neighbours
