About Holywell
Holywell sits right in Oxford's university quarter, with Magdalen College School nearby and plenty of museums, gardens, cafés and restaurants that come with the academic setting. Crime's been dropping year on year and is now lower than most other Oxford neighbourhoods. Air quality is excellent and you've got plenty of green space — there are 26 gardens within reach. Transport costs are well below the national average, walking and cycling routes are strong, and most residents work from home or locally, so commuting isn't really an issue. It's ideal if you want a well-connected, walkable neighbourhood close to central Oxford, with good schools and a settled, low-crime feel.
