After completing her post-graduate studies, my daughter is now permanently resident with a good job in Oxford (Associate Marketing Manager for Routledge).
Ideally, I would move there too but for Oxford's high property prices compared to where I presently live (and for the type of home I'm prepared to live in).
I'm contemplating a compromise move to Banbury, which is only 10 minutes from Oxford by train. For me, Banbury property prices are more realistic. A new Redrow development is planned there on the Bloxham Road.
However, for those with first hand real-world knowledge and experience of Banbury, what is your opinion of living there?
What do you consider to be its positive and negative aspects?
