Apartments to Rent Devonshire Green
Exactly as it says on the tin, Devonshire Green is one of Sheffield’s most recognised green spaces. The Green breaks up and softens the landscape dramatically, with Devonshire Street running to the North and Fitzwilliam Street, the home of West One, running along the West. Not forgetting Sheffield’s West Street, positioned just above.
Devonshire Green has a lot going on, by day it’s like any other major city, with young professionals commuting and students getting to both Hallam and the university of Sheffield lectures. You’ll see people sitting in coffee shop windows or walking along the pavements with a latte on the go. And by night, there are many bars, restaurants and pubs that attract not just residents but many visitors that arrive on West Street.
The Devonshire Green area, and we include West Street into the mix has a fantastic choice of studio’s, flats and apartments to rent. Taking into consideration that the iconic West One development when constructed has an inventory of over 500 studios and apartments alone, that’s before we spill into a further expansive selection of property to rent on West Street.

About Devonshire Green
If you drop a pin right in the centre of Devonshire Green and within a 2 minute walk in any direction of that pin you would be greeted by a vast choice of shops, bars, restaurants, pubs, accommodation, transport links, entertainment, basically everything you want without the need to wander.
Known by many as the “cooler mature sibling” of the Sheffield city centre. Devonshire Green has an urban feel but hasn’t forgotten Sheffield’s industrial past, giving it a nice laid back energy.
This energy is mainly shared by office workers and residents in the day, weather permitting, who can be seen relaxing sat around the 1.5 hectare triangular park that is Devonshire Green. Yet, at weekends expect to feel the energy levels rise when the Green and the immediate location hosts festivals like Pride and Tramlines.
The great part about Devonshire Green is that there is always life, the daytime crowd of professionals who work for many employers like Ask4, can be seen coming and going along with students who use the Green as their route to uni and parents can be seen pushing a pram along Division Street on route with their children who play in the park.
At night, particularly weekends or on student promotion nights it can be busy and the volume is turned up a little but not off putting for residents.
Summing up, Devonshire Green is occupied by office workers, students and residents, which promotes a friendly diverse community, and as a result of this mixed audience you can’t pigeon hole it.
The place has bags of character, yet hasn’t moved away from its Sheffield bloodline. As a student or young professional Devonshire Green has a lot to offer.
