hi,
was wondering if anyone had any thoughts...
im moving back to sheffield and looking at flats to buy. viewed a flat in pinsent, riverside exchange. its nice and seems like good value for money compared to smaller newer builds. anyone live there/ bought there and give any insight to what its like.
also a lot is going on in the area since i left - whats it like and does anyone know whats in store for the area in the future?

appreciate any thoughts
thanks

I bought a flat about a year ago and have no complaints.

1. Close to town but quieter than your usual flat locations- West Street way etc
2. Good pubs- Fat Cat, Harlequin, Kelham, Milestone, Riverside
3. Flats are good value compared to other flats. Decent size and no real noise problems.

New offices next door almost finished- about 1500 people working in there so there should be few more facilities appear. But your only a 5 minute walk from the Coop and the shops round there so I don't really find it a problem. West Bar development may happen but not for a couple of years. All sorts is going on down at Kelham too, as well as the IRR nearing (?) completion the area is constantly improving.

The only thing annoys me is the distance to the nearest (decent) pub with a pool table!!!

Cheers
James

Hi, did you ever buy it then? I am thinking of moving to Pinsent Riverside Exchange from West One, wondering if anyone has any experience here. I might think about buying if I like the area.

This area always lacked a 'local shop' but Tesco Express have sorted that out now and since the original posts in 2007, this area it loads nicer.

Cool, thanks for reply! :)

I'm still living there and still have no complaints! Has many advantages over living in the middle of town- quieter/cleaner/cheaper etc. Since 2007, Tesco has appeared, as well as a number of new cafes and amenities. A mini park is about to be built on the other side of the river soon too.

You should be able to get a good deal at the moment I reckon.
