What’s it like living in Sheffield?

[FredaFrogspawn]

Would love to hear from MNers in Sheffield. What areas are nicest if you want easy access to the Peaks as well as the arts, with some good independent shops, a nearby park and nice bars/cafes.?

Thank you in advance

£600k is good budget for Sheffield. You’ll have lots of choice. I’d suggest lodge moor, Crookes, Crosspool or possibly rivelin as both are the right side for heading straight to Manchester

We live in s11 and it's basically everything you described

I would recommend s10, s11 and s17 for what you’re after.

What it’s like- good transport, great for accessing the peaks, good local small businesses lots of fantastic coffee shops & cafes especially around s17 & s11. Lovely parks and walks; millhouses park, botanical gardens, rivelin. Shopping is okay but you’re close to manchester & Leeds for shopping days. Couple of train stations.
The city centre is absolutely dreadful but you don’t really need to go in, I haven’t been for years.
