Oxford is unique, offering visitors and residents the irreplaceable comforts of home, a feeling rare in many communities. The source of Oxford’s distinctiveness can be debated—the literary feel, the welcoming citizens, the extraordinary food or maybe the attention to detail which enhances the Square, University, and entire community. Or, for some folks, Oxford’s appeal is simply the amazing shopping!
