Oxford, Connecticut
Oxford used to be a very rural town with a moderate farming population. However, in the past few years, there has been a large influx of upper-class suburban families that moved into the area. Most of these families, according to local newspapers and statistics at Oxford Town Hall, have moved from extremely affluent towns in lower Fairfield County. They have discovered Oxford's relatively reasonable housing market and natural beauty in comparison to their former towns, thus build $600,000+ homes in Oxford. This has fueled Oxford's decision to build a new high school of their own. |
