Thanks for all your help! I hadn't heard of rightmove- would have been using it all along. A flat actually opened up in Broomhill in a residential area so I think I'll be moving in there

Thanks for the replies! I'll start looking into Ecclesall Rd, Walkley and Netheredge. My monthly bus pass was a bit pricey so I am hoping to avoid that expense which is why I wanted walking distance but at the same time, if I live somewhere that I need to bus into work but can walk to get groceries, etc, I would be fine with that too. My current situation is very isolated, which isn't good for a newcomer! WallBuilder, as my search ramps up in the next couple weeks I will be sure to come back on this thread and get some more info on the places I'm considering. Thanks again

Hi everyone- I've recently moved to Sheffield from the States and will be here for a year. I'm currently in temporary housing in Lodge Moor, which is lovely but a bit removed from everything for someone who is so new. I work at the University of Sheffield and would prefer to have the option to walk to work (I do not have a car here). I'd like some suggestions from you all where to live as I keep hearing mixed suggestions. I am looking for a furnished one bedroom flat and would prefer to sleep at night rather than listen to a neighbor's loud music. Some have suggested the City Centre, others say a lot of students live there and as such, it's very noisy. Also, I've heard utility bills can be a bit steep in some places there. Another suggestion was Broomhill, but there don't seem to be many one bedroom flats for rent there currently, which is what I'm looking for. I don't mind walking 25-30 minutes to work. Thank you for any advice/suggestions you may have!
