How Life Works Here
Masefield Road is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 412 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 198 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest is about 112m away. The median property price is £198,750. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity.
