Hillsborough/Malin Bridge might be worth considering, there's a decent shopping area and huge park or the rivelin valley. Its on the tram network which runs to the main campus.About 20 mins journey.. Thank you Butlers, I will be looking for those areas, I will be having more questions after checking all these area you have suggested. thanks a ton!

butlers Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Traditionally Broomhill was the best area ,but its very student heavy and tends to be the most expensive area too ,so as a family would not be my pick.My family lived at Broomhill for 50 years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciated, I'm really glad to see all these responses. You're welcome, regarding letting children go to school on their own or being taken by parents, in my experience as a parent in the South West of the city, no matter how safe it is, people take their children to school. It's also quite nice and a good way of meeting other parents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should also say about the Hillsborough/Malin Bridge area.... it's good for G.P surgeries, both Hospitals are easy to get to, by public transport 30 mins and a few dentists in the area. We moved out to Stocksbridge last year, you really noticed the difference in services especially public transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree it will be very nice meeting other people in that way, and as my study is research based, I mean I won't have many courses to attend, I will be able to take them in the morning, and my wife will bring them back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you gradually get to know the parents and their children you'll be invited to children's birthday parties etc. Wishing you all the best with your journey and getting settled in. Sheffield people are friendly and welcoming. There are many wonderful parks/greenspaces in Sheffield to explore if you like that sort of thing, and easy access to the amazing Peak District, its more vigorous walks and villages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We for sure like to explore the city, my family look forward for that. Thank you all for your kind and quick responses! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
