EX1 3ZQ is a well-regarded residential area located 0.4km from Belmont House in Exeter. Administratively it sits within Newtown and St Leonard's ward and the Exeter constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. With an average age of just 28, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 45% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are high (147 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures.

Census 2021 statistics for EX1 3ZQ are sourced from Output Area E00101206 (shared with 733 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
