Longtime lurker here, Crime rate is something to consider -Oxford sits at 362.1 per 100K. Homes are going for about $333,400 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Would love some local perspective. Thanks in advance! There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 10 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Riverside side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
