Where you should buy in Sheffield

St Paul’s

If you want to live in the heart of the city, it doesn’t get much better than St Paul’s. The central location makes the area popular among young professionals and people who work in the city, as well as with investors looking to take advantage of Sheffield’s regeneration and status as one of the UK’s fastest growing cities.

Catcliffe

A pleasant village to the east of the city centre, the atmosphere in Catcliffe is very different to central spots such as St Paul’s. If you’re interested in a quieter pace of life close to home, this could be the area for you. Especially if you’re looking to buy a new build property, thanks to fantastic developments such as The Glassworks along Poplar Way.

Waverley

Right next door to Catcliffe, Waverley is another great place to live if you’d rather be on the outskirts of town.  

Ecclesall

Near to fellow popular areas Fulwood and Dore, Ecclesall is a desirable place to live. Bursting with character, it’s known for its independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, and is a desirable place for young professionals and growing families alike. The local primary school is good, according to Ofsted, while there are some excellent secondaries nearby too.

Stannington

If a key consideration regarding where to buy in Sheffield revolves around access to great schools, don’t miss Stannington. A selection of outstanding local schools makes this a popular area among families, while its position to the west of the city provides wonderful access to the Peak District.

Oughtibridge

Another sought-after Sheffield suburb on account of its location on the edge of the Peaks, Oughtibridge is just under five miles north-west of the city centre. This is a drive of around 15 minutes in good traffic, making it popular among those who work in more central areas.
