About

Broomhall is a residential district situated directly west of Sheffield's city centre, bordered by the University of Sheffield campus and the A57 inner ring road. Its housing consists largely of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted into student accommodations and flats, alongside some modern apartment developments. The area is densely populated, serving as a key residential zone for both students and longer-term residents due to its immediate proximity to the university and teaching hospitals.

The community is supported by several small local shops and takeaways along Broomhall Road and Broomspring Lane. A notable local landmark is the Broomhall Centre, a community hub offering various services. The area includes green spaces like Broomhall Park, while its street plan retains the historical layout of the former Broom Hall estate, with some older villas still present among the more prevalent terraced rows.
