How Life Works Here
Rutherford Street is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 426 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 299 violent offences were recorded (70% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 Morrisons Daily (convenience, 39m). The nearest transport stop is 254m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £188,000. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 449m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
