How Life Works Here

Well Oak Park 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 263m away. The median property price is £395,000, with moderate growth of 5% over five years. Based on 25 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 264m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
