Foxhayes sits within Exwick, one of the more affordable parts of Exeter, with house prices ranging from £144,900 for flats to £389,500 for detached homes. Day-to-day costs here stay low too, helped by modest transport spending and a GP surgery, pharmacy, supermarket and green spaces all close by. Families are well catered for with two Good-rated primary schools nearby, and crime rates sit well below the national average, continuing to fall year on year. Getting around without a car takes a bit more planning, as public transport within Exwick itself is limited. That said, the A377 and Exeter St David's station are both close enough to make commuting into the city centre straightforward, and from there you're well placed to reach the wider mix of amenities across Exeter, from the restaurants and cafés of St David's to the shops and healthcare services in St Thomas. Zoom out a little and Foxhayes benefits from everything Exeter's surrounding neighbourhoods offer: strong schools in Duryard and St James, three hospitals within easy reach, and a choice of rural escapes in Exe Valley and Kenn Valley for those weekends when you want pubs, open space and village quiet. It's this combination that defines the area, a genuinely affordable, family-friendly base with low crime and solid local amenities, while staying well connected to the city's jobs, healthcare and leisure scene.
