How Life Works Here
Stephen Street 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Nationwide (bank, 24m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Marks and Spencer) is 105m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
