About Buckingham
Buckingham is a proper market town that stands on its own. You've got five supermarkets, 13 cafés, 12 pubs and a cinema, plus solid GP and dentist services. Schools are a big reason people move here — there's an Outstanding primary, the well-performing Royal Latin School, and independent options like Stowe if that's what you're after.
You'll need a car for day-to-day life since there's no train station, but the roads to Milton Keynes and Bicester work well enough. Crime's been dropping sharply over the last two years, which is worth knowing.
House prices are mid-range for the area, and flats are noticeably cheaper than in the neighbourhoods around it. That makes Buckingham a solid choice if you're a family looking to settle or downsizing.
