RETIREE ATTRACTION
PROGRAM
Oxford offers a retirement lifestyle which has recaptured a tranquility and community spirit that many remember as a thing of the past. It is also widely regarded as a center for Southern arts, culture and literature. Because of this lifestyle, Oxford created a robust Retiree Attraction Program. The Mississippi’s Hometown Retirement Program has designated Oxford as a Certified Retirement City. This designation is attained through a three-month process that ensures that the features most sought by retirees are offered, including an affordable cost of living, low taxes, low crime rate, quality medical care, recreational opportunities, continuing education, cultural opportunities and a welcoming community. Located just 90 minutes from Memphis, Oxford offers both small-town simplicity and metropolitan sophistication.
