How Life Works Here

Wonford 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 168m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £168,750, with strong growth of 36% over five years. Based on 46 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. 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 399m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
