Is it worth buying in Oxford?

Hi all, I'm originally from Memphis and Homes are going for about $177,200 on average. Household incomes average around $48,135 in Oxford. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development. Am I wrong here? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it's been a really good experience overall. Compared to Baltimore it's pretty good.

The food scene here is hit or miss. Tons of great sushi places. I love the pace of life here.

Bought a house here in 2021 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone about the same since then.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good schools in most areas
- The dating scene scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
