Oxford

Oxford is a residential village situated north of Detroit that combines neighborhoods with a small commercial area. The settlement centers around two blocks where shops and services cluster together.

Early settlers avoided the area until someone established the first post office in 1834, marking the beginning of organized settlement. This starting point allowed the region to grow from scattered habitation into a structured community.

The downtown area draws people to its shops and restaurants where locals gather throughout the day. The center is valued for how it maintains its historic character and remains a hub for community activities.

The village is easy to explore on foot because everything clusters around the center. Public transportation connects residents and visitors to local destinations, especially for those needing assistance.

The area contains four lakes that draw recreation and create parks for daily activities. These bodies of water shape the landscape and offer outdoor options for residents and visitors.
