Greenhill
Greenhill is a part of the Beauchief and Greenhill ward of Sheffield, and alongside these two places the ward is also made up of Batemoor, Chancet Wood, Jordanthorpe and Lowedges. The actual ward that Greenhill is a part of makes up some two and a half square miles and there are almost ten thousand houses and homes in this space with an average of just under twenty thousand people in the same place.

Originally both the Beauchief and Greenhill aspects of the ward were a part of Derbyshire, but they were annexed into Sheffield in 1934 and have remained so ever since. Due to the number of historic sites dotted around Greenhill and Beauchief there area contains a large amount of leafy green space for residents and visitors alike to enjoy, and thanks to the likes of the nearby Hall and Abbey there is a real tangible sense of history around Greenhill.
Two golf courses are also just within striking distance helping raise the preceived affluence of the area even more, but despite this many of the houses in Greenhill and Beauchief remain relatively competitively priced compared to other areas in the city of Sheffield. Greenhill itself is within striking distance of the city centre but maintains excellent transport links thanks to the popular local bus service that visits a tremendous number of destinations, some even crossing the border into Derbyshire and travelling long distances. There are many local amenities in Greenhill including many schools, a church, a library, and a variety of shops catering to a variety of different tastes.
There are a variety of different types of homes in Greenhill and Beauchief from larger detached historic buildings through to smaller flats and council houses. This variety of different structures lends the area a very cosmopolitan air that is very much loved by the ten thousand residents.
