Overview
What's it like to live in Shiregreen North?
Greenspace is reachable but isn't on the immediate doorstep — most residents walk a few blocks to reach a park; there's effectively nothing within walking distance — eating out, drinking and shopping mean a drive; Recorded crime is higher than the national norm — common for built-up urban areas, but worth weighing if you're looking for a quieter base; gigabit broadband is effectively universal.

Shiregreen North in Sheffield
Living in Shiregreen North
Sheffield 007 is shaped by its social housing stock. Close to half of all households rent from the council or a housing association — a figure that stands well above the Sheffield norm and gives the area a distinct character compared to the city's more privately rented or owner-occupied neighbourhoods. It's a community-focused area with a notably young population: just under three in ten residents are under 18, giving it a family-heavy feel.
On cost, it sits at the affordable end of Sheffield's spectrum. The median property price is around £138,000, and with local salaries running at roughly £31,800 a year, the deposit hurdle is among the lowest in the city — around 2.2 years' savings to a typical deposit. Private rental makes up only about 13% of tenure, so if you're looking to buy rather than rent, the ownership market is relatively accessible.
Demographically, the area leans younger than much of Sheffield, with under-18s making up nearly three in ten residents. One-person households account for just over a quarter of all homes, and couples with children make up around one in five — a mix that reflects both the family character of the social housing stock and a thread of single occupancy across the area. Around 87% of residents were born in the UK, and the ethnic diversity index sits at 36, broadly in line with many of Sheffield's outer neighbourhoods.
Practically, the nearest mainline rail station is roughly 2.9 km away, though most residents drive: nearly two in three commute by car. Public transport accounts for fewer than 14% of journeys. Broadband coverage is strong — 100% of premises can access gigabit speeds. For schools, sub-areas and streets, see the breakdown below.

Frequently asked
- Is Sheffield 007 a nice place to live?
- It depends on what you need. It's genuinely affordable — property prices average around £138,000 — and it has a community feel shaped by a large social housing stock. The trade-off is that crime runs above the national average and the area is among the most deprived in England by the official index. It suits buyers and families who prioritise value and community over polish.
- What is the rent in Sheffield 007?
- Private renting makes up only about 13% of tenures here, so the rental market is small. Our neighbourhood rent figures are estimates scaled from city-level data using local sale prices — the official ONS data only goes to council level. Median property prices sit at around £138,000, suggesting rents sit at the lower end of the Sheffield range.
- Is Sheffield 007 safe?
- Crime runs at around 105 incidents per 1,000 residents a year, which is noticeably above the UK national rate of roughly 80. The area's high deprivation ranking is the main driver. It's not unusually dangerous by Sheffield standards for a deprived inner neighbourhood, but it's worth being aware of the elevated rate compared to the city's more affluent areas.
- What's the commute from Sheffield 007 to Sheffield city centre?
- Most residents drive — about 63% commute by car — and public transport accounts for fewer than 14% of journeys. The nearest mainline rail station is roughly 2.9 km away. For city-centre commuting, buses are the most common public transport option.

- Is Sheffield 007 a good area to buy a house?
- If affordability is the priority, yes — the median sale price is around £138,000, and the deposit saving period is roughly 2.2 years, one of the shorter timelines in Sheffield. The area's high deprivation score and above-average crime rate are the main considerations to weigh against that low entry price.
