About

Sunny Hill is a residential neighbourhood in Derby, a short bus ride from the city centre. The area is built around a local high street and a number of residential streets, with a mix of housing types that reflects growth in the 20th century. Local amenities include a primary school, small shops and takeaways, and a cluster of community services that serve nearby streets. Regular bus routes link the area to Derby rail stations and the wider city network.

Sunny Hill takes its name from Sunny Hill Road, which runs through the heart of the neighbourhood and marks the route most residents use for local journeys. Small green spaces and sports pitches provide places for weekend activity, and allotment plots lie close enough for routine visits. The pattern of housing, the local parade of shops and the bus links give the area a practical, neighbourhood scale that many residents find convenient for daily life.
