The Best of
Both Worlds
Oxford is a thriving
community located in the scenic Republican
River Valley in south central Nebraska. Life
is GREAT here because we have the best of
both worlds, many of
the advantages of the city and all of the
luxuries of the country.
Why is Family Life Great Here?
It's rush hour-free, pollution-free and virtually
crime-free. People are friendly and look out
for each other without invading each others'
privacy. Schools and neighborhoods are safe.
The crime-rate is among the lowest in the
country. Gang activity is non-existent and
illegal drugs become visible quickly . . .
before they pose a danger to our
youth. The air is clean and there is room
for children to run and play while Moms rest
assured that their kids are safe. More
Oxford's recreational activities appeal to
nealy everyone. For many, recreation means you can releax and enjoy yourself. Here you find beautiful landscapes, sunsets and wide open spaces. You can take a break from work and go hunting or fishing, play a round or two of golf, spend an afternoon hiking or bird watching or plan a weekend of camping. here you can relax and enjoy the Great OutDoors!
The cost of living and cost of overhead are
low when doing business in Oxford. Although
many also enjoy success after crteating a demand for a service or product that didn't exist here before. With the fast changes in technologoy, more computer and other technical professionals are needed locally. As current fields and industries expand, more employment positions will be available. Opportunities exist for industry and manufacturing. More
Children and teens receive a progressive education
with fewer students for each teacher. The
student to teacher ratio in Oxford Elementary
is 11 to 1 and is even higher in middle and
secondary school. Teachers are dedicated to
their jobs, their communities and their students.
They also remain involved in continuing education
at nearby Universities. Oxford area schools
offer numerous opportunities for students
to excel at academics, extra-curricular activities
and sports. More!

Why
relocate to Oxford, Nebraska?
A young doctor in Chicago was asked why a
person from the city would want to live in
Oxford, Nebraska?
Without hesitating, he said "There is
no traffic, the people are nicer, and
life is safe . . . and is safe for your kids!"
In addition to telling of some close calls
his kids had avoided with
gangs and controlled substances,
he went on to say that the lungs of a non-smoker
who has spent his lifetime in Chicago are
in far worse shape than the lungs of a smoking
individual who has lived in rural Nebraska.
His wife and children miss nature and long
to be back where they can run through grass
and be outside . . . without having
to be cautious of their surroundings. "There
are parks where we live, but you have to drive
to them. The nearest is about 20 miles through
the city and you have to work around rush
hour traffic. It's difficult to experience
nature here." More
on how to relocate.
Oxford
is the place to go
where
there is safety and room
to
grow!
