I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me find a good place for me and my greyhound in Sheffield. I have signed a tenancy on a place that meets my needs and an area I think I can really settle into.

Thanks for all the kindness shown on here but also random strangers around and about who have helped me in various ways.

I am exhausted and still struggling to cope with all the aftermath of leaving an abusive relationship but the kindness of strangers (and also a lot from friends) had helped a lot. I even have a couple of potential new friends (invites for coffee once I am settled).

Soon I hope to be your neighbour and do you favours and palm off my seedlings on you. Thanks for having my back now.

Hello, I'm looking for a place to live in Sheffield with my greyhound. I have been looking around just in my budget and seem particularly drawn to areas in S7 or S8 it seems.

I have mobility issues so steep grade hills are probably a miss and I would want some green space nearby to walk dog. Also I'm quite into arts and crafts.

Any sorts of recommendations? I'm searching in quite a hurry because I recently escaped an abusive relationship and chose Sheffield because I have more friends here than any other city (but those friends apparently only know their own neighbourhoods)

From what I've heard it seems there's a banana from like Hillsborough to the south of the city that seem to get recommended.

I'd be living alone so bonus points if there's a community I can get involved with quickly.

Edit: thanks for being so friendly and welcoming. It's been a really tough and unsettled time. It does feel nice to look forwards and I think I have picked a good place to rebuild. One day I will be pushing my extra seedlings on you as a neighbour.
