How Life Works Here
Roman Walk 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. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Chandos Deli (cafe, 7m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (High Street) is 127m away. The median property price is £186,250. Based on 18 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
