You need to save every penny you can when you vet burgled!

There are some lovely, handsome houses on Hanover Square....unfortunately the area isn't safe.

It's changed remarkably since the early 90s.

You don't see overly friendly looking women stood on every Street these days..

So the area's getting better now then?

I was walking the dog through the estate near the Hanover Pub and came across some kind of Eid celebration taking place in the fenced-in part of the public park. The women were sat at the back away from the men and I was chastised for taking pictures.

Its very "muggy", and I'm not talking humidity here.

It's completely changed since the early 1990s. It ain't no yuppee area tho.

It used to be like a little Pitsmoor. Saying that, that area's changed a lot since then also..

On the police website you can see the police's recorded crime stats mapped by neighbourhood: https://www.police.uk/south-yorkshire/KD1/crime/

From what I can see, from a quick comparison between residential areas close to the city centre, Sharrow and Broomhall have the higher crime rates - other areas (e.g. Lowfield, Netherthorpe, Kelham Island) have lower crime rates.

Note: as always, recorded crime doesn't always match people's lived experience of crime and anti-social behaviour, so take this with a pinch of salt.

Thank you everyone for your help.

I think I'll look elsewhere, which is a shame really because, as Amazon123 mentioned, the area does have some lovely old houses.
