2718 W Oxford Loop

Oxford, Mississippi carries the kind of literary weight most cities only read about — it was home to Nobel Prize-winning novelist William Faulkner, and his preserved estate, Rowan Oak, still stands just off a wooded trail near the University of Mississippi campus. Founded in 1837 and chosen four years later as the site of the state's first university, Oxford has long orbited Ole Miss, affectionately called The Grove, where autumn Saturdays turn a ten-acre campus green into one of college football's most spirited traditions. Beyond game days, the city holds a genuine intellectual energy rooted in institutions like Square Books on the historic downtown Square, and the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts.

Neighborhoods range from the walkable Downtown Square district to the residential stretches along South Lamar, the campus-adjacent University District, and newer developments near Oxford Commons off Sisk Avenue.
