Oxford Neighborhood
Embedded Files
The Greater Oxford Civic Association, established in 1963, represents nearly 600 homes in Richmond’s Southside, with the community located east of Huguenot Road and spanning both north and south of Chippenham Parkway. Oxford’s unique setting offers large lots, abundant nature and wildlife, mature trees, and convenient access to the James River and surrounding areas. Often described as a “hidden gem,” Oxford is a neighborhood rooted in tradition—bringing neighbors together through National Night Out, fall gatherings, the Annual Yard Sale, community meetings, and more, keeping our spirit strong and our neighborhood thriving.
