South oxhey

Good evening, I'm looking at purchasing a house in south oxhey. I'm a little bit concerned about the history of the town. I have seen news of improvements but nothing compares to experiences of the residents or those close by.
Has anyone got any wisdom they can share before I move my family here?
We are a family of colour, one boy one girl.

It is pretty close to me. I think it is about 75% white whereas where I live - other side of the county boundary (I am in a London borough)- is mostly non white

[ I am white].. I think it is a good location, not too far from London. Good location. Reasonable house prices given how convenient it is.

Good evening! Thank you so much for your reply.
Honestly, white doesn't bother me at all, I'm mixed and my mum is white.

I loved here 15 years ago and left due to the racism, it was really tough.
Before taking to much interest in the property I had managed to speak with some neighbours in the area and I've moved in!
The area seems lovely, we've only been here a few weeks but it's so peaceful. Really glad to have taken the leap!

I am glad. I don't want to give my exact location but we are very close and it is a nice area.
