Devonport
Devonport stands out as one of Plymouth's most affordable and well-connected corners, with terraced houses typically priced between £195,000 and £235,000, and flats starting from as little as £128,000. Living costs, including council tax and transport, run well below the UK average throughout the area, making it a practical choice for buyers and renters watching their budgets. Rail links are a genuine asset, with stations serving Devonport and Stoke giving quick access to Plymouth city centre, while St Peter and the Waterfront adds strong bus, ferry and road connections for those commuting or working from home.
Healthcare and education provision are consistently strong across the suburb. You'll find numerous GP practices, hospitals, dentists and pharmacies within easy reach, and schools perform well throughout, with the Outstanding-rated Mayflower Academy serving as a real draw for families in both Devonport and Ham. Crime has been falling steadily across all neighbourhoods over the past couple of years, adding to the sense of a settled, improving area.
Each pocket of Devonport has its own character. Ham and Stoke feel more residential and community-focused, with local pubs, convenience stores and footpaths supporting everyday life. St Peter and the Waterfront, by contrast, puts you right in the thick of city life, with dozens of restaurants, bars and shops on your doorstep and low pollution levels making outdoor living genuinely enjoyable. Whatever your priority, whether that's value for money, transport links, schools or city buzz, Devonport offers a strong case across the board.
