Answer 2

Well i have lived in Exeter my whole life and you do NOT want to be living in Wonford, or St Loyes area- especially burnthouse lane (the road name says it all, if you want bricks coming through your front room window then feel free!!!). Then theres Whipton, its ok... but these days full of Vicky Pollard type single mums, Then there is beacon Heath- there are some nice parts but known for alot of drugs. That also joins on to Stoke Hill and Pensylvania. Pensylvania aint that bad though, its abit quieter. There is Heavitree which is quite a nice place  and broadfields that is quite a nice area, and Pinhoe which is also nice. Do steer clear of Posloe Bridge though, quite S****y, most likely to get a football kicked at you by a gobby child as your walking by! On the other Side of the River, is alphinton- which is ok. St Thomas which i personally dont like, and Redhills & Exwick which i feel totally on edge from the moment i get there to the moment i leave for some reason. DO NOT move to Farm Hill... Not nice at all. My Personal Favourite is St Leonards, quite quiet- Close to town etc... Also they have built alot of Nice new Flats in the town Centre. If you have any more questions please ask.... i'm more than happy to help. x*x
