Shopping and waterfront living come together in Oxford
Sometimes you want to be in the center of it all: Oxford is the neighborhood in Fairhaven most known for being a major retail center, drawing visitors from around the area. This locale is situated at the confluence of Route 6, Interstate 95 and Route 240 – the major thoroughfares of Fairhaven. But Oxford is more than a commercial center. It’s a suburban haven with neat residential streets leading to the waterfront.

Ranches and Dutch Colonials line quiet, walkable streets
Most of the homes here are priced in the mid $400,000s. While ranches are a common sight, they’re often done up in wood shingle siding, giving a real sense of New England style to the neighborhood. Dutch Colonials are well represented, too, adding to the quaint feel of Oxford. Most streets have sidewalks, and the quiet, leafy environs encourage a slower pace of life. You can take many streets all the way to the waterfront, passing bungalows along the way. Oxford may have its bustling side, but it’s still very much a coastal community.
Manicured lawns and gardens are popular in Oxford.
Ranch-style homes with wood shingle siding are a significant part of Oxford's housing stock.

Oxford is also home to many of Fairhaven’s lauded public schools, so you’ll also see neighbors frequenting the area for reasons other than commercial amenities.
