“My husband and I lived at Oxford Estates for 2 years. It was a wonderful experience, the neighbours were all amazing and Liz and Brian made it really feel like home. If you have an opportunity to live here, do it. It's such an amazing piece of history and I'm so glad that it's around for us to enjoy.”

“The apartments are beautiful. It feels like a home not just an apartment, very friendly. We have one of the smaller apartments but the setup and workmanship is amazing. They don't build places like this anymore.”

“We were among the first tenants to move here in October 2020. Why are we still here? We feel safe, protected, respected and loved by people — especially by our superintendent, Liz Heaton.”

“An absolutely lovely community. When we toured we were met by Liz and Bob (cutest little mascot for the school building), they told us about the historical site details and showed us around.”
