Buying in Exeter
As Devon’s county city, Exeter is surrounded by hilly countryside and beautiful beaches. The city itself is filled with traditional old pubs, and Georgian townhouses and gothic buildings line its cobbled streets. All this history is contrasted with the post-war area of the city’s shopping streets, meaning as a place to live, there’s something for everyone.
There are around 20,000 students at Exeter University, meaning that during term time, the city’s population swells. This high population of young people means that there are plenty of amenities to make use of like independent bars, restaurants and cafes. For those interested in local culture, a visit to the Royal Albert Museum or the Guildhall display artefacts from Exeter’s history.

Transport in Exeter
At the end of the M5, Exeter is a gateway to the South West of England. Along this road, cities like Cardiff and Bristol are easily accessible in under two hours. For those wishing to make the journey to London, the M3 is accessible through driving via the A303, cutting the journey time down to just under four hours.
In terms of public transport, Exeter has three train stations: Exeter Central, Exeter St Thomas and Exeter St Davids, with services from each running to Cornwall and London. Around the city itself, buses are a popular means of travel. Due to the city’s proximity to Dartmoor and Exmoor, the town centre is known to be hilly and steep in places. This makes walking or driving one of the best ways of getting around, and the city is adequately geared up for this.
Living in Exeter
Exeter is the perfect place for those who crave the ruggedness of a countryside landscape along with the convenience of an urban environment. It’s a popular place to live with people of all ages, and families enjoy its proximity to the seaside.
The city’s buoyant local economy means that house prices are above the national average, ranging around £280,000. Some of the most popular areas to live in are St. Thomas and Clyst Heath - home to a mixture of period properties and more modern homes and newbuilds. Across the city there are a range of schools, many of which have been rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted. St. Thomas Primary School is really popular with parents who say their children are happy there, and the Southbrook School is a fantastic secondary for children with varied complex needs and abilities.
