Pennsylvania & University

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.

The area is functional, with several small grocery shops, cafes, and pubs catering to the university population. A specific local feature is the presence of Reed Hall, a historic mansion with formal gardens, situated within the campus grounds. The main thoroughfares are busy, especially during term time, while the surrounding side streets are quieter. It is well-connected to the city centre via frequent bus services along Pennsylvania Road.
