Beauchief or chapeltown?

Hi,

Planning to move to Sheffield with my wife and daughters, torn between beauchief and chapeltown, the houses in chapeltown are nicer and there is a couple of good schools there but I heard some people saying it lacks diversity!!

Besuchief on the other hand, the houses are smaller and more expensive. The schools are good but oversibscribed so the odds may not work in our favour. But we assume its proximity to the city centre will make it by default more diverse.

Any advice?

I am renting by the way.

Thanks in advance

They're opposite ends of the city so it really depends on where work is.

Beauchief without a doubt. Nicer part of town, better schools, and you'll be much quicker getting to work.

Beauchief.

Both places have things going for them, but the house prices in Beauchief are higher for good reasons - good choice of shops/supermarkets, excellent parks and open spaces, restaurants and cafes. You get less for your money in terms of bricks and mortar but the advantages otherwise for Beauchief are massive.

If diversity is important, I'd say Chapeltown is a non starter.

There is a hefty premium for housing in the SW of Sheffield. Bizarrely the relative premium is much smaller in the rental market than the house sales market.

Personally I would choose Beauchief but it depends a lot on your family etc.

Thanks all

Your comments are much appreciated
