t020 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I would say that Sheffields best area is Fulwood. Dore also has some very nice large houses. Expect to pay high prices for both. Just outside Sheffield we have Hathersage which is also a fine area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Stannington is also a top area, plenty of friendly Pubs up here... except stay out of the Sportsman on Oldfield Road on a Tuesday and Sunday night unless you want to get dragged into arguments about rumoured fixing of the quiz cos the same team wins every week.

max Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Defining the best area is impossible. The areas t020 describes might be the 'ideal' areas for some people but there many criteria to consider price being the prime one. If you have a small budget and no car then I'd suggest looking at areas of Sheffield serviced by supertram. Try supplying a few more details such as budget and where you will be working and we will probably be more able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hey max, I used to live in Walkley. We moved up Stannington 6 years ago in November cos of problems with the daft old bat who lived next door. Walkley Bank Road we lived on, the lower part, just above Rivelin Valley Road.

I know it well. One of the reasons we moved here was because the selfish b******s who lived behind us in Crookes built decking overlooking our garden. So I know what it's like being chased out of your home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathand Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I moved up to Sheffield from London in January and I'm finding Hillsborough a great place to live. Lots of nice shops, 20 minutes on the tram into town, 15 minutes by bus outside of peak times, Hillsborough park close by and plenty of green areas and walks. Not too expensive either.

I'm guessing you're referring to some sporting arena in the area rather than the area. Or rather, I'm hoping you are otherwise we may have a small falling out.
