How Life Works Here
Okehampton Street is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 850 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 Royal Oak (pub, 33m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Railway Station) is 148m away. The median property price is £234,500. Based on 12 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. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 43/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 36/100. 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.
