Raising a family in Exeter -thoughts?
Random thought, I'm retired and Household incomes average around $83,862 in Exeter. With a population of 10,138, Exeter is a small town. Homes are going for about $349,300 on average. The unemployment rate is 2.1%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate

There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development.
