Exeter is one of the South West’s most desirable and liveable cities — combining historic charm, excellent schools, and a thriving local economy. Surrounded by rolling Devon countryside and close to both the Jurassic Coast and Dartmoor National Park, it offers an exceptional quality of life for families and professionals.
Neighbourhoods such as St Leonards, Heavitree, and Topsham are particularly sought after, offering period homes, riverside settings, and strong community spirit. The city’s growing number of new-build developments also appeals to buyers looking for energy-efficient, modern living within easy reach of the centre.
Exeter’s University, hospital, and professional services sector underpin a stable property market, while strong transport links to Bristol, Plymouth, and London make it ideal for commuters.
