How Life Works Here
Kent Close is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 426 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 299 violent offences were recorded (70% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 179m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £223,000, with a slight decline of 10% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 373m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
