5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Very kind and helpful staff!
I’ve had a really positive experience moving into Kangaroo Works. As a private tenant, the whole move-in process was smooth, well-organised and stress-free. The development is welcoming, well-maintained and has a great atmosphere. A special thank you to Casey, who was incredibly helpful throughout the move-in process. She was efficient, professional and genuinely kind, making sure everything went smoothly and making me feel welcome from day one. It’s the little things that make a difference, and the level of service I received really stood out. I’m very happy with my experience at Kangaroo Works and would definitely recommend the development to anyone looking for accommodation in Sheffield!

Thank you, Casey!

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. 5 stars for Kangaroo Works
The design and facilities at Kangaroo Works are really great. It’s homely but gives you space to bring in your own style and make your home yours! It feels clean and fresh and modern. The facilities are excellent, clean, and easy to access. The building feels safe and secure and, living by myself for the first time, that’s really important to me. The staff can’t do enough for you. Special shout out to Casey who supported my moving into the building, showing me round, etc and to Angharad too, who has been really supportive since moving in- it’s great to receive a phone call to check alls well and that the move in was smooth etc. The rest of the team are awesome too!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The locality of kangaroo works is definitely a positive. For me, I’m close to university, I’m close to friends, shops, local pubs and places we like to socialise. The location is right by local bus routes and tram lines so it’s easy to get in and out of the city without walking miles once you get off the bus/tram. Having parking available nearby is also great for when friends and family visit.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very well. I’m newly moved in, so I’m yet to come across any major issues. But I’m confident from what I have experienced, if I didn’t encounter any issues, they would be resolved quickly and to a good standard.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If anything, knowing exactly where my apartment would be located and going to see that (which is appreciate is difficult when you already have tenants living there). No issues with where I’m located but maybe this would be something I’d like to have seen beforehand.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Almost Three Years at Kangaroo Works – A Wonderful Place to Call Home!
I’ve been living at Kangaroo Works since 4 December 2023, and almost three years later, I can genuinely say that it’s been a wonderful place to call home. One of the things that makes Kangaroo Works particularly special is the people who work here. I want to give a special mention to Rosie, Casey, James and Emma, who have all been absolutely lovely. They’re incredibly friendly, approachable and always willing to help. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely make an effort to check in on residents and ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. It’s those little things that make a building feel more like a community rather than just somewhere you live. The building itself is well maintained, consistently clean and has some fantastic facilities. Having an on-site gym is a brilliant convenience, and I also really appreciate how child and pet-friendly the development is. Another highlight is the effort the team puts into organising resident events. These gatherings create opportunities for neighbours to meet, interact and build connections, which I think is especially important when living in a city-centre development. It’s lovely to see the management team actively encouraging a sense of community. The location is another huge advantage, with excellent transport links and Sheffield city centre just a short walk away. Overall, I’ve had a genuinely positive experience living at Kangaroo Works and haven’t encountered any significant problems during my time here. I’m grateful for the welcoming environment, the thoughtful management team and the effort that goes into making this a comfortable place to live. A massive thank you once again to Rosie, Casey, James and Emma for being such wonderful people. Your kindness and willingness to help really do make a difference!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
One of the biggest advantages of living at Kangaroo Works is its fantastic location. The building is strategically situated in the heart of Sheffield, with a bus stop directly opposite and the city centre just a five-minute walk away. This makes commuting, shopping, dining and getting around Sheffield incredibly convenient. Everything feels easily accessible, whether you’re heading into town, catching public transport or exploring the surrounding area. The location offers a great balance of convenience and city living, and it’s honestly one of my favourite things about living here.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Thankfully, I haven’t experienced any major issues during my time at Kangaroo Works. However, whenever I’ve needed assistance or had questions, the management team has always been approachable, helpful and willing to listen. They maintain open communication with residents and make it easy to feel comfortable reaching out whenever something needs attention.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I’d known just how much of a community Kangaroo Works would feel like! It’s more than just a modern apartment building. The resident events are a lovely opportunity to meet neighbours and connect with people, and the staff genuinely contribute to making it feel welcoming. My advice to anyone moving in would be to take advantage of the resident events, make use of the gym and enjoy the incredibly convenient location. Having the city centre within walking distance and public transport directly opposite makes everyday life so much easier. After almost three years, I can confidently say that choosing Kangaroo Works was a great decision for me.
