A rural setting with urban amenities
Originally nothing more than a loose collection of farms in southwestern Connecticut, today Oxford is a quintessential New England town, a place that feels like something out of a Robert Frost poem. Narrow streets meander through forested areas and the houses sit on expansive lots. “It’s a very rural area,” says local Realtor Jill Taylor. “But once you live here, you find quaint little shops and you realize how much there really is to do in town.” Offering an extensive array of options for lovers of the outdoors, a range of restaurants for foodies, nearby access to Interstate 84 – all in a secluded and peaceful setting – Oxford combines the best of small-town New England with proximity to major urban centers. It’s just far off the beaten path enough to be surrounded by natural beauty, but close enough to that same beaten path to provide all the necessary creature comforts.
Route 67 is the main road that cuts through the heart of Oxford.
Oxford has a rural New England vibe with access to top shelf amenities.

Abundant outdoor recreational opportunities
Oxford’s rural nature means that there are plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities for residents to enjoy. The Oxford Land Trust is a local nonprofit that works to “preserve the rural character of the Town of Oxford” through land acquisition and preservation of natural resources. The Trust maintains several trails and properties, including the Rockhouse Hill Sanctuary, 600 acres of wooded land with 15 miles of hiking trails. Additionally, the town’s Parks and Recreation Department not only maintains multiple parks throughout the area, but also organizes recreational sports leagues for all ages, fitness classes and special events throughout the year, including the annual Fishing Rodeo and the Summer Nights at the Beach concert series.
With the Housatonic River and Lake Zoar on the town’s eastern edge, boating and fishing are popular pastimes here. Jackson Cove Park sits on the banks of Lake Zoar, and offers visitors access to a playground, a picnic pavilion, lakeside beach access and hiking trails. A few miles closer to the center of town is Posypanko Park, the home of the Babe Ruth League summer baseball games for area youth, as well as a playground and a basketball court. At Soutford Falls State Park in the north end of town, visitors can take advantage of 2 miles of trails that wind through 169 acres of woodland. And golfers need not feel left out of the fun, with The Golf Club at Oxford Greens located in the northwest part of town.
Jackson Cove Park is located at the end of Jackson Cove Road in Oxford, CT.
Rockhouse Hill Sanctuary is located next to Oxford HS at 77 Quaker Farms Road in Oxford, CT.

Dining and shopping options galore
Its small-town charm and feeling of seclusion are the primary draws for those seeking a home in Oxford, but the area also offers residents easy proximity to plenty of big-city conveniences. The newly opened Quarry Walk shopping center is centrally located in Oxford, where residents can take care of grocery shopping at Market 32 and any home necessities at Ace Hardware. There are also several local boutiques in Quarry Walk to provide sustenance during extended shopping excursions. For more intensive retail therapy, the cities of both Danbury and New Haven are about twenty miles away. And when the need is at its most extreme, the retail shrine of New York City is just a three-hour train ride away.
When dining out is on the agenda, the place that literally put Oxford on the map is the Oxford House. Because of the town’s location on the route farmers took from Litchfield to New York in the 18th century, Oxford was a well-known stopping place for weary travelers to rest. The Oxford House Tavern was a place favored for its comfortable accommodations and excellent food, and the tavern continues that tradition today, with a menu that features everything from soups and salads to seafood, pasta and steaks. Another popular option is Char & Lemon, where wood-fired pizza is the name of the game, and residents make sure that, no matter where they eat, they end up at The Country Creamery for a scoop or two of ice cream served in an old-fashioned setting.
The Oxford Tavern is a local favorite located right in the center of Oxford on Route 67.
Quarry Walk is Oxford's premiere spot for dining and shopping

Well-built homes on expansive lots
The median price of real estate in Oxford hovers around $550,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $262 per square foot. “Houses are farther apart than in other parts of Connecticut,” says Taylor. “So it can be a very quiet area.” That spacing is due, in part, to the median lot size of the area, which is 71,000 square feet. By comparison, the national median is just under 14,000 square feet. A three-bedroom/two-bathroom colonial-style home on a 2.5-acre lot can sell for around $260,000, and prices can go up to $2 million for a five-bedroom/seven-bathroom new-construction contemporary-style home on a 1.5-acre lot overlooking Lake Zoar.
Oxford has many larger homes and properties fit for larger families.
Large lawns can be found on many of the back-road homes in Oxford.
