In Buckinghamshire, there are many families that have moved to be closer to their work in the towns of Bletchley and Buckingham, but there are also families that have moved to be further from their city jobs.
Every year, thousands of families around the UK decide to move to a different county like Buckinghamshire. This can be for a wide variety of reasons but usually revolves around work.
Traditionally, people have moved to be closer to their jobs but, in this era of internet businesses and telecommuting, it is common for families to move away from the stresses of large cities and settle in small towns or villages.
Commuting
Living in a small Buckinghamshire town like Newport Pagnell or a quaint village like Quainton is arguably more relaxing than living in a bustling city and the health benefits are greater than just reduced stress levels.
Many businesses have discovered telecommuting as a way of reducing not only costs, but employee stress, which can improve productivity. As the practice evolves, some find that a periodic meeting at the main office can be beneficial, so a monthly commute has become standard.
Again, living in Buckinghamshire makes this easy. With the M40 to the West, the M1 to the East and the M25 to the South, it’s not a problem getting those monthly meetings in the city.
There is more to life than just work, (or there should be) like relaxing with family and friends, socialising and feeling a sense of community. These things seem far easier in the slower paced environment of a small market town than they do in the frantic rush of a busy city.

Why Buckinghamshire Attracts Relocating Families
Beyond commuting, Buckinghamshire has a lot to offer in its own right. The county contains some of the best state grammar schools in the country, including Aylesbury Grammar School and Royal Latin School in Buckingham — making it a popular destination for families who prioritise secondary education. House prices, while higher than in nearby Milton Keynes, remain considerably lower than equivalent properties in the London commuter belt, giving families more space for their money.
Villages like Haddenham, Long Crendon, and Chesham offer a slower pace of life without sacrificing access to good amenities. The Chiltern Hills — an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — run through the south of the county, offering exceptional walking, cycling, and riding country.
