Median price £481,250 based on only 2 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Quay Hill 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 dominate reports. 485 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is The Ocean Club (bar, 22m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (The Quay) is 46m away. The median property price is £481,250. Based on 2 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 transport-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit young professionals. This is a transport hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 57/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 50/100. 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.
