Oxford, GA Homes for Rent

Oxford, Georgia is a small college town rooted in history and education, anchored by Oxford College, a division of Emory University that brings in more than 1,000 students from around the world. Established in 1837 by the Methodist Episcopal Church and later designated a shrine to the United Methodist Church, Oxford has historic landmarks like the “Old Church” from 1841 and Allen Memorial United Methodist Church, whose building dates to 1910. Residential streets near the city center follow a mostly grid-like layout along Emory Street, with ranch-style homes, New Traditional houses and higher-end luxury properties set among tall trees and landscaped yards; some residential streets are narrow and may not have sidewalks, though the Oxford College campus is walkable. Local attractions include Asbury Street Park with trails, picnic areas and a playground, Red’s Lake for fishing, and City Pond Park for baseball, softball, tennis and pickleball, while the nearby Georgia International Horse Park draws visitors for equestrian events, an Olympic-style mountain biking course and public golf at Cherokee Run Golf Club. Dining options range from Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q and Amici’s pizza and sandwiches to the public Oxford Dining Hall with student-grown produce, with more restaurants and retail in nearby Covington and Conyers. Families looking at schools will find Providence Classical Christian School in the region, which is highly rated, and may also explore the Georgia Promise Scholarship program for private school tuition support. Access to State Route 81 and Interstate 20 connects residents to downtown Atlanta about 35 miles away and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport roughly 40 miles away.
