Family score 30 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
How Life Works Here
Lucky Lane is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 1098 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 485 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Holloway Street) is 75m away. The median property price is £325,000, with a slight decline of 10% over five years. Based on 5 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 transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 47/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 39/100. 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.
