sadly i’ve just left Sheffield and moved to Wigan. The brilliant thing about Sheffield is that if you live south/west you’re no more than 15 mins from the peaks. We lived in Hillsborough which was great value for money for houses, has a decent town centre for shops and boring baby/parenting stuff, and was 15 mins on the tram into the city/work. it also meant we had decent walks from the house and could drive out to the peaks in 5 mins. The downside about Hills is that there aren’t any decent pubs, but we used to drink in town, or Walkley.
You’ll love it in Sheffield, it’s a fantastic place to live.
