Exeter is a fantastic, vibrant place to work and live. It has a buzzy, lively, city atmosphere that is thriving. It really is the ‘city in the country’ bordering the Exe Estuary and Darmoor National Park also being within easy reach of award winning coastlines of Devon.
The dynamic evolution of Exeter as the capital of the South West is attracting investments in the residential property market for both investment income and capital growth. Employment opportunities are opening up in the fast growing sectors of financial and business services, retailing and leisure-related activities in particular. It is uniquely poised to flourish and has a healthy and growing economic base.
Exeter tops a league table for one of the most desirable UK cities to which companies would like to relocate and recently over 70 companies and organisations have set up or relocated to Exeter and surrounding areas.
It has a high quality of life with low crime rates and unemployment below the national average. Families are well catered for with superb schooling choice and lifestyle benefits. It is of course very proud of its University.
Many people enjoy working in Exeter and chose either to live within the city itself or have a short commute from one of the many surrounding areas of outstanding beauty.
Sometimes the cosmopolitan city life is balanced by the ‘village feel’ of the outlaying areas – it really does have something to offer for all!
