Apartments to Rent Ecclesall Road
It would be fair to say that for decades Ecclesall Road in Sheffield has been as one of the most referenced roads. Although it is still popular with students, the relocation of facilities managed by Sheffield Hallam University to the Sheffield city centre has diverted many Hallam students from the area, and literally since the M&S Food Hall opened up the vibe has swung from being a full on student location to accommodate a more diverse audience, this has shifted the dynamic.
Yes, Ecclesall Road and the numerous side streets still have there fair share of student housing stock but many landlords have reacted to the migration of Hallam students and upgraded to satisfy the growing professional rental demand.

About Ecclesall Road
The road that’s recently twinned with Rodeo Drive, only joking, but if you think Beverly Hills, you think Rodeo Drive and if you think Sheffield will undoubtably think Ecclesall Road.
There is why Ecclesall road is so iconic, where Hathersage Road ends, on the edge of the Peak District, Ecclesall Road South begins and then merges into Ecclesall Road at Banner Cross, running for nearly 2-miles all the way to the Hannover Way island, the gateway to Sheffield city centre.
This 2-mile route is used as one of the main veins in and out of Sheffield, and there is no wonder many businesses have taken root here, high footfall is equal to the plentiful mix of private independents & chains.
If you set yourself a challenge there isn’t anything you can’t get on Ecclesall Road from a bespoke luxury kitchen to some vintage inspiration to a “Reyt Good Curreh” not forgetting a game of tennis!
Ecclesall Road isn’t just about eating, drinking & shopping, it’s also a great place to reside, especially if you are renting and want to be within minutes of Sheffield city centre but don’t want to be in the heart, we have some great rental options with listings from private landlords, one of Sheffield’s most established major property rental portfolio holders to the latest build-to-rent (BTR) developments.
Summing up, the area has everything you need, this 2-mile stretch is always active and there is no need to ever venture, apart from a stroll through Endcliffe Park or a short walk into the city centre. The vibe has and continues to evolve as many students have migrated to other areas of Sheffield, so the reputation of a student location isn’t the case anymore.
