Oxford County
Warm working towns with real main streets — Woodstock's Victorian heart, Ingersoll's storied cheese, Tillsonburg's famous Broadway — where honest country living meets everywhere-in-an-hour convenience.

The places that make Oxford
Woodstock
Woodstock pairs a grand Victorian downtown with everything close at hand: theatres and museums, river parkland and trails, busy arenas and rec centres, and neighbourhoods for every stage of life, from stately century streets to brand-new subdivisions.
Ingersoll
Cheese put Ingersoll on the map — in 1866 the town shipped a mammoth 7,300-pound wheel across the Atlantic and made headlines worldwide. The cheese museum keeps that story alive, while walkable streets and friendly prices keep the town growing.
Tillsonburg
Famous for Broadway — a main street so wide it turns heads — and for Annandale House, a National Historic Site of Victorian splendour. Tobacco built the town; today it's one of the friendliest, most welcoming places in our four regions.
Tavistock
Once a year the world comes to Tavistock — literally — for the World Crokinole Championship. The rest of the year it's a tidy German-heritage village at the heart of dairy country.
Norwich
Quaker settlers shaped Norwich's quiet character, and dairy farms still surround it — a village of heritage, fall fairs, and calm.
Thamesford
Where the Thames forks: a village of old mills and open farmland, with commuter convenience in both directions and country quiet in between.
Plattsville
A Nith River village of new family homes and old farm roots — small enough to know your neighbours, close enough to work anywhere in the region.
Bright
Bright lives up to its name — a cheerful crossroads village where they've been crafting cheese since the 1870s, surrounded by some of Oxford's prettiest rolling farmland.
Paris
Just over the county line in Brant, Paris has been called one of the prettiest little towns in Canada — cobblestone buildings, a downtown perched above the meeting of the Grand and Nith rivers, and main-street charm that draws visitors from everywhere.
Oxford is friendly country — working towns with real main streets, farms that have fed Ontario for generations, and neighbourhoods where a wave still means something. It's an easy place to put down roots.

Start with a conversation, or with your home's value — both are free, and neither obligates you to anything.
