Moving to Oxford with kids -good idea?

Hello, Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Does this match your experience? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a nurse who relocated here from LA about 2 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people

Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is pretty good.

Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
