Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
How Life Works Here
Union Street is located in East Devon, near Exmouth, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 560 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 278 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Waffle Away (fast food, 48m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Parade) is 146m away. The median property price is £105,000, with a slight decline of 7% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transport-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. This is a transport hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 51/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 48/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
