Our Take
Exeter offers solid schools, quiet neighborhoods, and a decent median income, but it’s a car‑centric town with a high flood risk and limited public transit. If you’re a family looking for a safe, low‑crime place to raise kids, it could work; otherwise the flood insurance and commute costs might bite.
