A rapidly blossoming sector of Sumter County
The sound of nail guns popping and hammers pounding tells the story of Oxford, where new subdivisions are filling up all undeveloped land. “It is definitely up and coming,” says Kelsie Brennan, a local Realtor with Brennan & Bell Group. “It’s growing at a rapid pace.” This area is a draw for families, Brennan says, who can find a modern house while enjoying some of the commercial and social amenities of The Villages, a sprawling community next door that’s restricted to those 55 and over.
The town of Oxford is a mix of large rural lots and new development neighborhoods.
Oxford families live just minutes from many local amenities.

Options span budgets and tastes
While there’s plenty of new construction to go around, prices are still relatively affordable. The Lakeshore subdivision, for example, offers recently built cottage-style homes in the 1,000-square-foot range that sell for between $200,000 and $300,000. Those looking for something bigger can pick from new developments like Lakeside Landings and Oxford Oaks, where single-family homes often sell for $300,000 to $500,000. Lakeside Landings also has some condos with prices comparable to the single-family houses in Lakeshore, as well as sections designated for those aged 55-plus. Lakeside Landings is gated as well. “It’s very private, very secure,” says Brennan, whose team specializes in the Central Florida area. Developments like Lakeside Landings and Oxford Oaks come complete with community amenities like playgrounds and pools.
Oxford’s Sumter Crossing development offers more luxury listings, with modern homes pushing over 3,000 and 4,000 square feet on multi-acre lots and priced around $1 million. There’s more construction bubbling in the area, too, including a neighborhood off the thoroughfare of U.S. Route 301 dubbed Whispering Oaks that Brennan estimates will bring another couple thousand homes.
Oxford residents enjoy suburban neighborhoods with proximity to shopping and dining.
New Oxford developments seem to pop up every day.

Head to Whispering Oaks for weekend fun
Oxford is largely residential, but it is home to award-winning Whispering Oaks Winery. “It’s kind of neat on weekends,” Brennan says. “They have events and they have Steak Night.” Steak Night is a popular draw on both Friday and Saturday nights, when the kitchen here pumps out ribeyes, filet medallions and more. Events at Whispering Oaks include live music, on Thursday evenings. Many in Oxford go to The Villages for dining, though.
