8 of the best places to live in Sheffield, including Crookes, Brincliffe and High Green

Sheffield is well-known for its friendly community, vast green spaces, and, while average house prices vary dramatically across the city’s different suburbs, it actually has some of the cheapest neighbourhoods in the country.

Over the weekend, we asked Star readers: "If you could move to anywhere in Sheffield, where would it be?" - And in response, we received more than 800 comments across Facebook and Twitter from those who love their beautiful, hilly city.

Many spent time telling us what they love most about where they live... although some pointed out the negatives, such as the distance from a beach. 

These are just some of your comments on the most mentioned and loved neighbourhoods in the city.

Fulwood

With an S10 postcode, Fulwood is right on the edge of the Peak District. It is around three miles west from the city centre, but it has regular public transport, and boasts low crime rates.
