How Life Works Here

Queens Walk is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 1811 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 872 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 7 facilities within walking distance, including bar (2), cafe (2), and clothes (1). The nearest public transport is 7m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.
