How Life Works Here
Thackeray Road is located in Exeter, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 412 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 198 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 Pinhoe Dental Centre (dentist, 65m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 121m away. The median property price is £246,000, with strong growth of 32% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
