About

The Pennsylvania and University area in Exeter sits directly north of the city centre, centred on Pennsylvania Road. It is a residential neighbourhood primarily housing students and young professionals, with a mix of Victorian terraces and modern purpose-built accommodations. The area's character is defined by its proximity to the Streatham Campus of the University of Exeter, with academic buildings and student facilities integrated into the local streets.
