Don't know Fitzwalter Road so will not comment, however if you follow the posts under Area Help (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=97) you may find them helpful.

Hi. Fitzwalter Road is a little road just off the main City Road. I'd personally check the place out before moving there. It's near the Park Hill estate which has had it's fair share of problems in the past. Being female I'd worry about walking in that area at night although I have known a few students who lived in that area and they got on fine. It's in a good position for the station and there's a large park nearby. I'm sure you'll enjoy living here, it might look abit of a dump in places but it's got other stuff going for it. If not into the evil that is towny bars you have a fairly limited choice in the city centre, theres stuff on the best pubs bit on the forum.
