Oxon Hill sits in southern Prince George's County, Maryland, just a short drive from Washington, D.C., and positioned close enough to the nation's capital that federal employment and government contracting shape much of the local economy. As an unincorporated community rather than an incorporated city, it carries a quieter, suburban character while still offering real access to one of the country's most consequential metro areas. National Harbor, the riverfront development that opened along the Potomac in 2008, brought hotels, retail, and entertainment that gave the area a recognizable anchor and a more polished identity. The community's colonial roots trace back to the 18th-century Addison manor, a property now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The housing landscape here leans toward apartment communities and garden-style rentals, with a range of floor plans that suit different lifestyles.
