Exeter is an extremely desirable place to live, with one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe. With its easy access to award winning beaches and countryside walks, residents are able to lead the good life, whilst having access to a well-regarded business hub.
The city remains a popular place to live due to the varied and attractive architecture and high standard of state and independent schooling, along with Exeter University, which is considered one of the best in Europe. The accessible train links to London are excellent and it is possible to be in the capital within two hours and seven minutes on the fast train. Exeter airport is in close proximity and this provides international and regional connections.

The city is family friendly and offers many leisure activities including the historical Cathedral and the prestigious Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club at Sandy Park. There are also an impressive number of parks and outdoor spaces to enjoy particularly the cathedral green, which during the summer is a favourite spot for city workers to sit, relax and enjoy their lunch.
There’s a great atmosphere throughout the city, and in December, the cathedral green is alive with the Christmas market. Princesshay is the local shopping centre which is made up of a selection of independent cafés, bars and restaurants, along with the other well-known outlets such as John Lewis.
Exeter’s location is one of its main selling points, and its food scene also benefits from its coastal backdrop. A haven for those who enjoy dining out, the city is located close enough to the English shores that fish is always fresh, and the meat can be locally sourced from the surrounding Devon county. Whether you’re looking for top-rated food like Harry's Restaurant to wine and dine, or in a rush to stop by the Exeter Farmers' Market and grab some fresh local produce, there’s a world of cuisine at your fingertips.
Within the city, the architecture is dominated by Georgian and Victorian townhouses made more attractive thanks to close proximity to schools and open parks with popular areas including St Leonards, Pennsylvania and Heavitree.
