The ‘Steel City’ is a lot greener than in its industrial past might suggest. If you’re looking for a slice of big city living, but in a place that’s friendly, welcoming, open and remarkably green, then Sheffield is worth your time and attention. We aim to kickstart your property search by highlighting some of the best new build homes in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

Where is Sheffield?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sheffield is the largest city of South Yorkshire, technically sitting in the region of Yorkshire and the Humber. It’s also the second largest city in Yorkshire as a whole, in terms of population.<\/p>\n

Its central location along the ‘spine’ of England puts it just off the M1. The Peak District National Park is to the city’s immediate west, with Manchester beyond that. Carrying on north up the M1 past Sheffield will take you to Leeds, which has numerous historic and cultural connections with Sheffield.<\/p>\n

Why live in Sheffield?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There’s a long (and growing) list of reasons why people love to live in Sheffield. First, it’s a vibrant, exciting and economically prosperous city that continues to draw in new investment and emerging companies. This means that Sheffield is a great place for young professionals to make and develop their careers.<\/p>\n

Sheffield is also one of the greenest cities in Europe, not just the UK. Despite its history as the ‘Steel City’ from the Industrial Revolution days, Sheffield now has a ratio of four trees to every one person who lives there<\/a>. It also boasts 80 parks (most of them large and stunning) and 650 designated green spaces. This kind of commitment to integrating nature into urban areas is the blueprint for the ‘green city’ of the future, but Sheffield has it already!<\/p>\n

Additionally, you only have to step out of the city to enjoy one of the UK’s most impressive natural wonders, the Peak District<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for entertainment and nightlife, Sheffield offers something for everyone<\/a>. It’s home to successful and popular teams across a wide range of sports, including the Sheffield Steelers (ice hockey), Tigers (speedway), Eagles (rugby) and Sharks (basketball). And there’s Sheffield FC, of course. There’s a constantly evolving pub, club and dining scene here too, with every major new trend firmly represented. Sheffield also has an impeccable live music pedigree, from major events to cosy intimate performances in small venues. Musical acts hailing from this storied city include Pulp, Artic Monkeys, Reverend and the Makers, Bring me the Horizon, Def Leppard, The Human League and Richard Hawley.<\/p>\n

Overall, Sheffield offers an attractive blend of culture, nature, career prospects, and access to urban convenience, but without feeling too big to be overwhelming or impersonal.<\/p>\n

What are average property prices in Sheffield like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a city that’s definitely hit its stride in recent years, house prices in Sheffield are also rising. In January 2022, average property prices in Sheffield stood at £224,400<\/a>, according to Zoopla. Admittedly, this covers a broad range of property types across a big city, so there are significantly cheaper purchasing options.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to buy flats in Sheffield, they come in at a much more affordable average of £158,000. Terraced houses are closer to £164,000. Again, these averages are according to Zoopla’s data for January 2022.<\/p>\n

Regardless of your preferred property type, Sheffield is a good house hunting prospect when compared to the UK average. In October 2021, the Office for National Statistics put the average UK house price at £268,000. This makes Sheffield property £43,600 cheaper on average nationally, and over £60,000 cheaper than England’s specific price average of £285,000.<\/p>\n

New builds in Sheffield: 10 best developments<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If the thought of having your cake and eating it too appeals, then Sheffield is definitely worth a look. Big city living, but with a personal touch and great access to nature is a winning combination, one that’s attracting property buyers from all over the UK.<\/p>\n

Below you’ll find our list of the 10 top-ranked new build property developments in Sheffield. As always, these rankings are determined entirely by the scores given by verified residents who live in the properties they are reviewing. So dive in, and see what Steel City can offer you.<\/p>\n

*PLEASE NOTE these rankings take into account how many reviews a scheme has and how recently those reviews have been submitted, so may not match the overall star ratings shown. Buildings with a larger number of more recent reviews are given a greater weighting to reflect current building performance – as on our area guide pages.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are spacious communal outdoor areas that are good for children, and the development is close to Meadowhall, offering a wide range of local amenities including a care home, hospital, shops and other necessities. (Higher rating than some of the developments above but with fewer reviews, hence the lower placing).<\/p>\n
