Great shop on site, which is nothing to do with Urban Splash that’s why it’s good! That’s the only good thing about the place. No bars or restaurants as promised! Drug dealing in the flats, anti social behaviour! £50 per month charge for car parking and can’t get a space. Not enforceable so non residents park and walk into town! Rubbish everywhere as no bins in the gardens! It’s an absolute mess!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

No response, they ignore you. If you rent you get non of the benefits that owners get! Which isn’t much anyway! They couldn’t care less about anything apart from money.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Looks good from afar but not fit for purpose! So noisy and dirty! Unsafe and active drug dealing in the building. All about Urban Splash making as much money as possible due to their debts. Constant tours and filming, again to make money! Can’t step outside without seeing a bus full of children or a film crew. Plus they film in the night and stop residents accessing parts of the building and grounds when filming, it’s ridiculous. Save your money and stay away from this mess is my advice.

I love living at Park Hill. The location is excellent with easy access to local trains & buses. The residents at park hill have tried to make it feel like a community and it has been successful. It is great area to live in.

The cost of heating the flat.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I would have known more about the building management company plumlife. The site is great & my experience with urbansplash has been second to none however the lift has taken a long time to repair.

What is the best feature of your home:

Exposed concrete, city views, community spirit & unbelievable build quality.

Sheffield is a brilliant city. Has everything you need in a very compact space. Lovely people, places and things to do. Unfortunately the Park Hill complex although being close to the city centre, there are no supermarkets particularly close by. Equally, although the tram stops essentially right outside I require my car for work and leisure purposes (e.g travel to the Peak District) so the fact that there is no on-street parking and that on-site parking is very expensive is quite annoying.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

There are no shops within a 10 minute walk of the building. The parking is quite expensive and there are no other free, on street options close by.

What is the best feature of your home:

Dual aspect floor to ceiling windows. The balcony overlooking the city.
