A guide to living in Sheffield

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There is nothing next to the development, and it's too warm. If you open the windows, it's too loud because a busy road is right next door, if you close the windows it's a green house.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Not applicable, I haven't reported any issues so far.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Not fantastic for parking, bit every other imaginable amenity is within walking distance. Some noise from the clubs over the road until 3am most days, but with both windows shut and either a television or some music of your own on, you won't even notice.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The only thing that might qualify as an issue was when my door lock was flashing red. I emailed Miri and it was sorted the next day.

The hobs are induction hobs and all of my favourite cookware was rendered useless!

There wasn’t anything significant that caught me off guard after moving in. The property and development have largely met my expectations based on what I saw beforehand, and overall the experience has been consistent with initial impressions.

Absolutely love living in kelham island. There’s lots of local pubs and restaurants, as well as a variety of coffee shops that suit all tastes. Walking distance from the bus station and train station, though the parking can be a bit of a nightmare.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Our maintenance man Terry is absolutely fantastic. He comes over if we ever have any issue, and when I broke my stove top, he not only helped me to get ahold of the right company to have it replaced, but made sure we still had a way to cook until the repairs could be made.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The parking situation is a bit abysmal, it’s 100£ a month to fight for space in a dirt lot that gets a bit sheisty during the winter time. The front of office are all very kind and helpful, while still being professional. And it’s very pet friendly, so if you’re not an animal person this may not be the best place for you.
