How Life Works Here

Harrier Way is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 569 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 180 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The nearest transport stop is 109m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
