Living at The James Sheffield has been a fantastic experience. The area offers a great balance of convenience and lifestyle. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars nearby, catering to various tastes and preferences. Open spaces like Weston Park provide great spots for relaxation and walks. Transport links are quite convenient, with frequent buses and the tram network making it easy to get around Sheffield. The street is lively (sometimes a bit loud at night), with Tesco conveniently nearby, and the University of Sheffield just a 2-5 minute walk away. A separate bin storage facility within the building ensures cleanliness and convenience. Overall, living here is highly enjoyable!

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how vibrant and diverse the community is at The James. There are not only fitness activities like yoga and outdoor runs, but also music clubs, a book club, and opportunities to meet people from various backgrounds. It’s a great way to make new connections and share common interests. I’d highly recommend getting involved in these groups—they really enhance the experience and help you feel at home. The kitchen space in the studios is a bit small, which could be a challenge for anyone who loves cooking a lot. However, there is a larger kitchen available for booking at an additional cost, which is a great alternative if you need more space. Also, while parking can be a bit limited, there’s a Q-Park nearby, making it convenient for those who prefer driving. Plus, the location is fantastic for public transport, making getting around easy.

I find that the James is more than just an apartment building. The close knit relationships truly make this place feel like home along with the social events and general atmosphere of the place. For someone who is new to living alone and to the city, i could not have found a more perfect place and i am so grateful to have found the James
