Communities and neighbourhoods
You might hear people say that Sheffield is the world's 'Biggest Village' - a big city vibe with a close-knit community feel. This is no doubt helped by the collection of eclectic and unique neighbourhoods that make up the city, each one with its own character and distinctive style. From the leafy streets of Nether Edge to the post-industrial chic of Kelham Island, there's something to suit everyone and make you feel at home.
Ecclesall Road & Sharrow Vale
A favourite of families and students alike, boasting restaurants and bars and numerous places to shop. It's bustling - but away from the busyness of the city centre. Topped with Endcliffe park and flanked by the Botanical Gardens, it's a lovely place to take a stroll.
Crookes & Broomhill
Tucked away on top of the hill and feeling a world away from the city centre. It's a beautiful place to mosey round the independent record shops and cafes.
Heeley & Meersbrook
Ushering in the vegan revolution long before it was cool and boasting some top views of the city to boot, the Heeley & Meersbrook neighbourhood is one with a strong sense of community.
Kelham Island & Neespend
Once a place of dilapidated old factories on the industrial fringes of the city centre, Kelham is now leading the revolution of food halls, breweries and cocktail bars in Sheffield. Traditional old boozers sit alongside trendy new eateries, while the music studios, venues and practice rooms speak to the city's history of sound and industry.
Parkhill
An iconic example of Brutalist architecture and a testament to regeneration, Parkhill began life as an ideal of social living, built entirely around the idea of a self-sufficient community. The estate later fell into decline, but recent redevelopment has seen it once again become a bustling hub of city life, with stylish apartments and creative studios.
