A guide to living in Sheffield

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

One of the good aspects of living in this area is the availability of nearby supermarkets such as Tesco, which makes it very convenient for residents to access their daily essentials. The area is also close to restaurants and the city centre, providing plenty of options for dining and shopping. Another positive point is the presence of a bus stop nearby, which makes transportation easy and accessible.

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

The building management is generally good and supportive, and they do resolve issues when contacted. However, there is sometimes a noticeable delay in responding to emails, which is an area that could be improved.

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

One thing I heard, and which new residents should be aware of, is that hosting an overnight guest may be difficult because additional keys are not provided and overnight stays might not always be allowed. If this is accurate, it can be inconvenient, especially since these apartments are private homes and tenants should have the right to host guests when needed. This is something important for future residents to keep in mind.

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

Unfortunately crime rates are on the rise in the area and over the last year there has been a large increase of successful/attempted break ins on resident’s cars when parked on street. The bike shed was recently broken into and someone was able to walk in to the reception and stole parcels that had been delivered on the day that reception is unmanned. Shops, bars and restaurants are within walking distance along with the city centre and the train station. Downsides are that there is limited on street parking and heavy traffic in the area.

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

I have not personally raised any issues so can’t comment.

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

Nothing comes to mind that I can comment on for this.

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

Very accessible to grocery shops and convenience stores, including the moor market. Multiple bus stops very close, all between 4-10 min walks. Accessibility to Sheffield station is probably the best thing about the location. Some anti social/ traffic noise can be heard but not as often and frequently as one would expect.

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

Complains are fixed very quickly which is great. Eg loose drawers and blocked drainage were fixed the same day.

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

The social events are actually a great pro, more than I expected. The ease of booking private dining room and in house gym has been way more useful and elevated the living experience than I thought it would. The storage space in the apartments is a bit small, including the small kitchen counter space, something I would’ve thought before selecting a 1 bed vs 2bed.

The Building location in the city center and almost every thing is near by supermarket, Restaurants and Coffee Shops

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

I made some maintenance via the building website and it did not take long for them to respond.

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

I did not know there was a bicycle storage in the building

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

It's in city centre and convenient to everything like markets, bus stop, train station and tram station. This place is well connected to all the needs.

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

Everything thing is well maintained and prioritize the issues and resolves them.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the storage space is more limited than it appears during a typical viewing. Closets and cabinets look adequate at first, but once you settle in, you may find there isn’t as much room as expected. I’d suggest new neighbors plan ahead with extra storage solutions or organizers to make the most of the available space.
