Abingdon offers the widest variety of opportunity for the residents who choose to live here, ranging from one beds for a single professional looking to be closer to work, or large families looking for their ideal home to settle for a longer term. With links to the A34 on either end of Abingdon this is perfect for those who need to commute to Oxford, London and Reading. With the science park in Culham and the railway station in Radley Abingdon attracts a wide variety of residents.

I have lived in Abingdon for several years. And when the chance came up to rent in the area I jumped at the chance. As a professional person I love Abingdon. It has great transportinks with several rail stations and sits near to the A34. Its only a short hop to Oxford or Didcot for work or the shops. Abingdon is an active town centre with a great market on a Monday. It has some great shops and for me as an active person great gym facilities. Its setting by the river is great. For both walking and running. A fantastic leisure centre with a great swimming pool. At night Abingdon has some great pubs and fantastic restaurants for all tastes. I have found Abingdon a great place to live, it is a quiet but yet actice place to live. You can choose a quiet spot to sit and take it all in. Or enjoy the many facilities it has to offer.
