About Newport
Newport offers solid value for house buyers. Detached and terraced homes cost more here than in nearby Barnstaple neighbourhoods, but flats stay affordable. Crime's dropped sharply over the past two years and now sits below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour has more than halved since 2024.
You'll want a car here. There's a fuel station and car rental on hand, but public transport is limited, so driving makes daily life easier. Living costs track close to the national average — you'll spend notably less on transport, though council tax is higher.
Schools are within reach, including a primary academy and secondary school. You've got green space, sports pitches, and everyday shopping covered by local supermarkets and DIY shops. Air quality is genuinely excellent, and North Devon's mild climate brings pleasant summers.
This is a settled, community-feeling neighbourhood. It suits buyers who prioritise safety and value over extensive amenities.
