"Nice area and very busy"

Oxford Avenue is one busy street that has a little bit of everything available. It does not seem like a great street to live simply because it would be hard for anyone with a family to deal with but it is perfect for a single person who is in and out, a quick paced person would be ideal for this street.

"Nice quiet place to live----doesn't feel like the city....but you still have all of the benefits of the city"

Oxford Ave. is a short and quiet street in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx.

I lived nearby for 2 years and often walked down Oxford Ave. en route to run errands, go to dinner, etc.

It is fully residential, with many trees. Graffiti is a problem from local teenagers--and being in Riverdale, car theft occurs from time to time. But overall it is safe and extremely family oriented.

Oxford Ave. is close to 235th Street and Riverdale Ave. which contain grocery stores, banks, cleaners\tailors\shoe repairmen, hardware stores, etc. Also, Oxford Ave. is within walking distance to the NYC subway (1 train) and Metro North which goes directly to grand central. It is the ideal location for someone who wants to live in the city\have all of the city amenities but feel like you are living in a suburb with trees!
