Student Houses in Crookesmoor, Sheffield

For students studying at the University of Sheffield, Crookesmoor is a popular choice for student housing due to its convenient location, student-friendly sites, and accessibility to the university's main campus buildings, including The Wave and the Arts Tower.

Crookesmoor Road is where most of the student houses in Crookesmoor can be found, which makes sense considering how long this residential street is. Getting to and from student accommodation on Crookesmoor Road is super easy, too, as it’s only a 10-minute walk from the Students’ Union (which houses Bar One and the popular student club nights Roar and Poptarts) – meaning no breaking the bank for buses or Ubers.
