Georgetheframer 0 #1 Posted January 1 Hi We (myself, wife and daughter) live in Northern Ireland and are planning to move to Sheffield around June/July 2024. We plan to rent initially and would value any advice. My daughter is a figure skater and she loves the coaches, the people and atmosphere at the Sheffield ice rink (a huge improvement on Belfast) so planning to make a permanent move to Sheffield. Ideally we would like a nice quiet area with good transport links to the rink as my wife and daughter don't drive. Looking online and checking tram routes etc Hillsborough seems like a nice place to live but since I don't really know the area I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. We could probably go up to £1500 per month although would prefer closer to £1000. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks George Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thanks George The one downside with Hillsborough is street parking, otherwise it’s ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ms Macbeth 76 #3 Posted January 2 (edited) I live in Hillsborough and would agree with the above. Big plus is that from Hillsborough there is a direct tram route to Ice Sheffield. Here are some current rental listings https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION^82394&minBedrooms=2&maxPrice=1500&sortType=1&propertyTypes=semi-detached%2Cterraced&mustHave=&dontShow=&furnishTypes=&keywords= Edited January 2 by Ms Macbeth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Georgetheframer 0 #4 Posted January 2 Thank you very much for your replies. The on street parking is a concern so I might look a bit further out towards Oughtibridge or possibly somewhere on ice rink side of Sheffield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cody's Granddad 52 #5 Posted January 2 Oughtibridge is a far better and nicer place to live and you would be able to rent far better property out there. The tram terminus is about 2 miles back towards Hillsborough and includes park and ride. Middlewood where the tram terminus is is a lovely place to live and would be able to rent easily for the budget you have. I think it is called Wadsley Park and it really is a nice place to live.

Thank you. Sounds like between Wadsley Park and Oughtibridge would be ideal location for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
