Where should I rent in Sheffield?

[TheFirefly]

I would have thought City Lofts were very pricey, as they're bang in the centre and brand new. There are plenty of other city centre apartments which I would think would be a lot better value.

 

Your best bet is to ring a couple of estate agents I'd have thought.

 

Yes they are and I'd rather pay less if possible. I just don't know where to look.. I have decided on a city centre location though

 

I've heard that a lot of these apartments have a high student population, wheras I don't think City Lofts has?

This might be worth a look. A friend of mine lived in a one bed one of these for a while. It was nice, modern, v convenient, but pretty small.

I think you should avoid renting a flat in sheffield.

 

You should buy yourself a Motohome then you could go to any are you want

 

A motohome would be bigger than a flat & cheaper than the bus to get to work... Sounds like a winner to me:hihi:

[doom bringer]

to be honest I would rent away from the town center and use tram or bus to get to work or your car ..... most of the areas surrounding the center .you couldnt pay me to live in .

There's plenty of choice in the city centre and its all pretty safe TBH.

 

Velocity Tower is a good choice and you are close enough to the centre and also near to Ecclesall Rd for its pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Parking is tricky if you haven't got a parking place with the flat so bear this in mind.

 

Leadmill Court is ok as well. Close to the railway station and only a few minutes wall into the centre.

welcome to steel citynubile - apart from 1 or 2 beds, what else is important? are you a 20 odd year old wanting to party , or an older person wanting p n q for instance

 

Thanks frank, a little belated as i was born here 42 years ago, but better late than never i guess.

yeah its that friendlier your neighbours will pop in to visit when you are in bed or out of the house ..

 

As long as they don't nick my fake Uggs or GHD's i don't care.

Avoid the Manor estate with a vengeance, it's rough and full of chavs.

 

Stannington's OK, a few chavs on the estates but it's mostly populated by pensioners.

 

I'm originally from lower Walkley, and I'd recommend the area apart from it being very hilly, and a fair walk from the shops/bus stops etc.

 

Have you ever lived there troll. ?

So speaks the man who's experience of living on the manor is passing through it once on a bus 15 years ago. Troll.
