What Makes Crookes One of Sheffield's Best Neighbourhoods
Crookes sits in the S10 postcode, bordered by Walkley to the north, Broomhill to the south, and Stannington to the west. The area climbs one of Sheffield's famous seven hills, giving residents views across the city skyline. Crookes Valley Park lies on its eastern edge, offering a reservoir, woodland walks, and open green space used by joggers and dog walkers year-round.
The high street on Crookes Road is the heart of the community. You will find independent cafes, a post office, a chemist, local takeaways, and a supermarket within easy walking distance. Pubs like the Ale House on Commonside draw regulars from across the neighbourhood. The Kelham Island Tavern and various Sheffield Tap venues are a short trip away for those who want more choice.
Schools in the area include Lydgate Junior School and Tapton School on Darwin Lane, both well-regarded by local families. The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University are under three miles away, which makes Crookes hugely popular with students and academic staff.

Cyclists use the Rivelin Valley road for traffic-free commuting. Car owners benefit from the A57 and A6101 for routes into the Peak District or across the city. House prices in S10 range from around £180,000 for a one-bed flat to over £500,000 for a large detached home, reflecting the area's enduring popularity.

Comparing Crookes to Other Sheffield Neighbourhoods
Sheffield has many strong residential areas, but Crookes stands out for its balance of affordability, green space, and community identity. Here is how it compares to some nearby neighbourhoods.
Broomhill borders Crookes to the south and is another popular choice for students and young professionals. Broomhill feels more commercial, with more takeaways and bars on Glossop Road. Crookes has a quieter, more residential character with a stronger sense of local identity.
Walkley sits just north of Crookes and has seen significant regeneration over the past decade. Property prices in Walkley are generally lower than in Crookes, making it popular with first-time buyers. Crookes commands a slight premium due to proximity to the university and better school catchments.
Fulwood and Ranmoor lie to the south and west and represent the more expensive end of Sheffield's residential market. These areas have larger detached houses and private school options. Crookes offers many of the same benefits at a lower price point, which is why young families increasingly choose S10 over S11.
Nether Edge is further south and attracts a different demographic, with its large Victorian properties and strong cafe culture. Both Nether Edge and Crookes have loyal communities who rarely want to leave once settled. If you are deciding between the two, it often comes down to we offer the south side or the west side of the city. Either way, Giant Van covers all Sheffield postcodes, so we move you wherever you land.
