    "Exeter is quaint and quiet. The downtown is thriving with a variety of restaurants. Tourists come for the dining and the murals, and also because it’s on the way to Sequoia National Park. Cool, clean little town with friendly people. "

    "Exeter is an awesome place for those winding down in life and looking for a quiet safe place to live. If you are looking for a racy lifestyle you will be disappointed, however, if you are looking for a great place to retire, or to start retiring, this is a good choice. It is quiet, the neighborhoods are safe, and the people care about the community. The coast is 2 hours away as well as wineries, the mountains are within 40 minutes. The only drawback is the college in Visalia is not quite as develped as it should or could be. It would be nice if they had a broader selection of classes for adults, art, cooking, writing, languages etc....then it would be awsome!"
