Exeter has established itself as one of the South West’s most resilient and increasingly aspirational property markets, underpinned by consistent demand from both local and relocating buyers. In the past 5 years, average property prices in Exeter and the wider region have risen by over 13%, with prime homes in sought-after areas outperforming the wider market.
Demand remains strong for period housing in St Leonard’s and Pennsylvania, alongside waterside properties in Topsham and along the Exe Estuary. Limited supply in these areas continues to underpin price, particularly for well-presented family homes and high-quality developments.
The city is also benefiting from sustained migration out of London and the South East, with a notable proportion of buyers citing lifestyle, schooling and access to green space as key drivers. This trend has reinforced competition for best-in-class homes, particularly those offering character, setting or proximity to the water – allowing us to provide advice based on transactions, not just broader market trends.
Where to live in Exeter
Exeter offers a collection of well-defined neighbourhoods, each with its own character and appeal. St Leonard’s remains one of the most desirable central areas, known for its elegant Georgian and Victorian architecture, leafy streets and proximity to the city centre. Nearby, Pennsylvania and Larkbeare provide larger family homes, often with elevated views across the city, making them particularly popular with relocating buyers seeking space without compromising on access.
To the south-east, Topsham stands apart as one of the region’s most prestigious addresses. This historic estuary town combines waterside living with a strong sense of community, independent boutiques and a well-regarded food scene. Properties here – from period terraces to contemporary waterfront homes – command some of the highest values in the Exeter market, particularly along the Strand and Fore Street.
Along the river, the Quayside has seen continued regeneration, with developments such as Exeter Quay and nearby modern apartment schemes attracting buyers looking for a more lock-up-and-leave lifestyle. Countess Wear and St Leonards’ fringes also offer access to the river and green space, with a mix of substantial period homes and carefully designed new developments catering to a more design-led, lifestyle-focused buyer.
What unites these locations is Exeter’s broader appeal. It’s a city that offers cultural depth, amenities, and easy access to the countryside and the coast.

Exeter area guide
Exeter is one of the South West’s most complete cities, combining a rich historical backdrop with a modern, well-connected infrastructure. At its heart is the cathedral quarter, surrounded by a growing mix of independent retailers, restaurants and cultural venues, contributing to a lively year-round atmosphere.
The city is particularly well regarded for its education offering, with leading independent schools such as Exeter School and The Maynard School, alongside strong state options and the University of Exeter. This academic presence continues to underpin demand from family buyers and adds long-term resilience to the local property market.
Connectivity is another key strength. Direct rail services to London Paddington, access to the M5, and proximity to Exeter Airport make it an accessible base for both regional and national travel.
Beyond the city, Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon coastline are within easy reach, reinforcing Exeter’s appeal for those seeking both professional opportunity and an outdoor-led lifestyle – or a long-term base for those relocating from London, and beyond.
