best areas to Live in Oxford

There is something for everyone in Oxford, but if you pick the wrong area you could end up feeling rather out of place and dissatisfied with your new home. Here’s a quick look at some of the best places to live in Oxford, depending on your tastes.

Authentic and Multicultural

If you’re looking for somewhere relatively affordable, laid back and multicultural, then East Oxford is a great place to live. Cowley Road is a thriving ‘high street’ with plenty of places to eat and independent stores to shop at. This area is quite busy, however, and it does have a lot of students living in it. This means it’s perfect for young people who like hustle and bustle, but not ideal for those looking for a more serene time.

A Rural Idyll

IFFLEY Village

Those looking for a more upmarket, quieter experience who still want to benefit from the accessibility of central Oxford should consider moving to Iffley Village. Properties here are more expensive, but it is away from the student areas, very quiet, and is home to more hotels and bars. When there are major events on in London, Oxford in general can get quite busy but for the most part the village is used as a quiet retreat.

Higher-Class Student Areas

Headington is just across the bridge from Oxford High Street, and it is the home of Oxford Brookes University. It attracts the more artistic, higher class students, but still retains a rural vibe. If you like the creative culture then you will definitely enjoy living in this part of the city.
