The feel of the town
Oxford is a quiet, residential town in the hills between the Housatonic and Naugatuck valleys. Neighborhoods are mostly single-family homes, and much of the town feels rural.
Southford Falls State Park, the Larkin State Park Trail and a golf community with 55-and-over homes add to its appeal.
