AudiGaudi Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 My husband and I will be moving to Sheffield this fall. Our interests generally lie in film, comfortable pubs, food variety and clubs playing dance rock and electro music (most typically found here in the states at gay bars). Which neighborhoods would be good? Being close to the University, safe neighborhoods and public transportation would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libertarian Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Our interests generally lie in film, comfortable pubs, food variety and clubs playing dance rock and electro music (most typically found here in the states at gay bars). You'll also be happy to hear that Sheffield does have all of those. It isnt the greatest city in England for them, but you will also be within striking distance of many other cities, thus broadening your choice. Hope you enjoy your time here.

libertarian Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 There are a number of places that actually suit your needs, neighbourhoodwise. May I suggest looking in the Sheffield Property and Housing Section for answers to your question, it is frequently asked and answers to some of those threads should help you A short answer and it really needs a long one - look at Crookes, Broomhill (NOT Broomhall!), Walkley and maybe Hillsborough for the University, Sharrow and Nether Edge for Hallam University. Other areas might suit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456A Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 there are flats for sale all around the S1 area - central Sheffield. That means you have all your requirements close to hand, plus the Supertram, train and bus terminals if you want to venture further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 broomhall, crookes, west one (centre of sheff not far from the uni tho) nether edge...bit further away but very studenty (i used to live there back in the late 80s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrent Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm a US transplant and I live off Ecclesall road and really enjoy it. If you want to stretch your legs the Botanic Gardens and footpathes to the Peaks are right next door. Ecclesall road itself has many great restaurants and pubs and buses run frequently into the city center, making it easy to grab films at the Showroom (Sheffield's artier cinema). If you're interested into ethnic or world food, London Road is a close walk as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.One Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Broomhill (NOT Broomhall!) what's wrong with Broomhall? Ridiculously close to the uni, and the hospitals, and a pleasant walk to the Botanical Gardens, West Street and Eccy Road if you feel like a bit of a stretch.

AudiGaudi Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 This is all great, thank you guys! I'm also looking to stick within walking distance to a grocery store. I'll be mapping everything online to see where the best neighborhood may be. It's pretty complicated not being able to visit first ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelpYourself Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Crookes, Broomhill and Walkley come recommended and though others may disagree I like Upperthorpe. Two websites not directly linked to your question, but that will hopefully prove useful to a newcomer to the city- http://www.eventsheffield.com (to get a sense of the events that take place here) and http://www.sheffieldhelpyourself.org.uk (covering clubs, groups, societies etc) Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
